Femtosecond laser induced step-like structures inside transparent hydrogel due to laser induced threshold reduction.

In the area of laser material processing, versatile applications for cutting glasses and transparent polymers exist. However, parasitic effects such as the creation of step-like structures appear when laser cutting inside a transparent material. To date, these structures were only described empirica...
