Beam Splitters Fabricated by Nonlinear Focusing of Femtosecond Laser Writing in Pure YAG Crystal

We report on the fabrication of waveguides and beam splitters in pure YAG crystals by femtosecond laser direct writing (FLDW). During the femtosecond laser writing process, a positive refractive index is induced through the nonlinear focusing above the focus position, resulting in an unusual guiding...
