A New Approach Toward Extreme Thermal Stability of Femtosecond Laser Induced Modifications in Glasses
Open accessAbstract
Imprinting thermally stable transformations by femtosecond laser in glass would benefit the development of optical sensors dedicated to harsh environments including combustors, nuclear reactors, aircraft engines, or metal/ceramic manufacturing processes. While glass brings undeniable assets over refractory crystalline materials like shaping ability (e.g., optical fiber form), one key challenge is to prevent the erasure of induced transformations at high temperatures and for long periods. In this article, the role of glass composition and viscosity to achieve modifications stable at high temperatures is first reviewed, providing a comprehensive roadmap for engineers in optics and photonics. While silica appears to be the candidate of choice, it is revealed that binary aluminosilicates can compete and sometimes surpass it. The hypothesis is formulated and investigated that a hybrid glass‐crystalline nano‐structuring can imprint ultra‐stable modifications inside glass. Laser‐induced modifications in Al 2 O 3‐SiO 2 and ZrO 2‐Al 2 O 3‐SiO 2 glasses reveal a partial crystallization, shaped into a lamellar structure and orientable with laser light polarization. These birefringent structures can withstand temperatures up to 1300 °C for 30 minutes. Even after erasure, a positive index contrast persists, up to 1650 °C for binary 60Al 2 O 3‐40SiO 2 (mol%). This is the first observation of this kind of persisting index contrast, paving the way to ultra‐stable glass‐based optical waveguiding.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
