Femtosecond laser-pulse-induced birefringence in optically isotropic glass
Abstract
We used a regeneratively amplified Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser to create optical birefringence in an isotropic glass medium. Between two crossed polarizers, regions modified by the femtosecond laser show bright transmission with respect to the dark background of the isotropic glass. This observation immediately suggests that these regions possess optical birefringence. The angular dependence of transmission through the laser-modified region is consistent with that of an optically birefringent material. Laser-induced birefringence is demonstrated in different glasses, including fused silica and borosilicate glass. Experimental results indicate that the optical axes of laser-induced birefringence can be controlled by the polarization direction of the femtosecond laser. The amount of laser-induced birefringence depends on the pulse energy level and number of accumulated pulses.

In the citing paper
“Direct laser-written waveguides in fused silica are intrinsically birefringent (36) and therefore can be individually described by the HamiltonianH^=βsa^s†a^s+βfa^f†a^f(1)with the bosonic annihilation (creation) operators a^s/f(†) for photons on the slow/fast principal axis with propagation constant βs/f, respectively.”

In the citing paper
“In our polarization-coupling regime, the counterpart of the propagation constants’ mismatch, Δ · cos 2α, and coupling strength, Δ · sin 2α, can both be adjusted via the birefringence Δ (36) and the rotation angle α (37).”

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.
