    Presented at PICALO 2008

    It has been demonstrated by many researchers that smooth void dots and void channels have been generated efficiently in polymers and glasses by use of a femtosecond laser induced microexplosion method. This method has been used to fabricate three-dimensional (3D) photonic crystals in those media. But the low refractive index media cannot open 3D complete bandgaps. Lithium niobate (LiNbO3 ) has a high refractive index of ~2.2 and a large transparent range of 0.45-5 ...

    Presented at PICALO 2008

    When ultrafast laser pulses are focused inside transparent materials such as glass, the optical intensity in the focal area can usually become high enough to initiate the nonlinear optical absorption and then the filamentary propagation of optical pulses. The nonlinear absorption leads to the avalanche ionization process and plasma is generated along the filamentary area. Due to this process, microstructure of the material is modified and usually the refractive index i...

    Presented at PICALO 2008

    3-D photonic bandgap (PBG) structures were fabricated by laser-assisted fabrication techniques, including laser-assisted nanoimprinting and laser-assisted chemical vapor deposition (LCVD), based on the self-assembled silica colloidal crystals. The multilayer silica colloidal crystals self-assembled on silicon substrates were formed with isothermal heating evaporation-induced self-assembly. To infiltrate th...

    Preventing the formation of brittle intermetallic compounds and defects or porosity in the fusion zone is a major challenge when welding dissimilar materials. Additionally, differences of physical properties between two joined materials generate thermal expansion mismatch stresses on cooling which means these weaknesses can quickly lead to failure. Welding research has not...
