Impact of Glass Free Volume on Femtosecond Laser-Written Nanograting Formation in Silica Glass

In this study, we investigate the effects of densification through high pressure and temperature (up to 5 GPa, 1000 °C) in the making of nanogratings in pure silica glass, inscribed with femtosecond laser. The latter were monitored through retardance measurements using polarized optical microscopy,...
