Contrasts in Thermal Dffusion and Heat Accumulation Effects in the Fabrication of Waveguides in Glasses using Variable Repetition Rate Femtosecond Laser
A variable (0.2 to 5 MHz) repetition rate femtosecond laser was applied to delineate the role of thermal diffusion and heat accumulation effects in forming low-loss optical waveguides in borosilicate glass across a broad range of laser exposure conditions. For the first time, a transition from therm...
