T1 - Nonlinear optical properties of binary and ternary silicate glasses upon near-infrared femtosecond pulse laser irradiation N2 - Some nonlinear optical properties such as the nonlinear refractive index and the nonlinear effective absorption, as well as the laser-induced single-pulse ablation threshold are characterized for a series of binary and ternary silicate glasses upon irradiation with near-infrared femtosecond laser pulses (800 nm, 130 fs). The laser-induced ablation threshold varies from 2.3 J/cm² in case of potassium silicate glass up to 4.3 J/cm² in case of Fused Silica. Nonlinear refractive indices are qualitatively similar within the range 1.7-2.7×10-16 cm²/W. Complementary optical and physico-chemical properties like band gap energy and the glass transformation temperature have been measured for all the glasses.

T1 - Femtosecond laser-induced modification of potassium-magnesium silicate glasses: An analysis of structural changes by near edge x-ray absorption spectroscopy N2 - The effects of femtosecond laser pulse irradiation on the glass structure of alkaline silicate glasses were investigated by x-ray absorption near edge structure spectroscopy using the beamline of the Physikalisch-Technische Bundesanstalt at the electron synchrotron BESSY II in Berlin (Germany) by analyzing the magnesium Κ-edge absorption peak for different laser fluences. The application of fluences above the material modification threshold (2.1 J/cm²) leads to a characteristic shift of ~1.0 eV in the Κ-edge revealing a reduced (~3%) mean magnesium bond length to the ligated oxygen ions (Mg-O) along with a reduced average coordination number of the Mg ions.

A1 - Bonse, Jörn T1 - Nonlinear absorption and refraction of binary and ternary alkaline and alkaline earth silicate glasses N2 - Nonlinear optical properties such as the nonlinear refractive index and nonlinear absorption are characterized by z-scan measurements for a series of silicate glasses upon irradiation with laser pulses of 130 fs duration and 800 nm center wavelength. The stoichiometry of the silicate glasses is varied systematically to reveal the influence of the glass composition on the nonlinear optical properties. Additionally, the thermal properties such as glass–transformation temperature and thermal expansion coefficient are obtained from dilatometric measurements. It is found that the nonlinear refractive index is mainly related to the silica matrix. The nonlinear absorption is increased with the addition of network–forming ions.

A1 - Bonse, Jörn T1 - Debris of potassium-magnesium silicate glass generated by femtosecond laser-induced ablation in air: An analysis by near edge X-ray absorption spectroscopy, micro Raman and energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy N2 - The redeposited material (debris) resulting from ablation of a potassium–magnesium silicate glass upon scanning femtosecond laser pulse irradiation (130 fs, 800 nm) in air environment is investigated by means of three complementary surface analytical methods. Changes in the electronic band structure of the glass constituent Magnesium (Mg) were identified by X-ray Absorption Near Edge Structure spectroscopy (XANES) using synchrotron radiation. An up-shift of ≈0.8 eV of a specific Magnesium Κ-edge absorption peak in the spectrum of the redeposited material along with a significant change in its leading edge position was detected. In contrast, the surface left after laser ablation exhibits a downshift of the peak position by ≈0.9 eV. Both observations may be related to a change of the Mg coordinative state of the laser modified/redeposited glass material. The presence of carbon in the debris is revealed by micro Raman spectroscopy (µ-RS) and was confirmed by energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy (EDX). These observations are attributed to structural changes and chemical reactions taking place during the ablation process.

A1 - Bonse, Jörn T1 - Femtosecond-laser induced ablation of silicate glasses and the intrinsic dissociation energy N2 - The relation between ablation threshold fluence upon femtosecond laser pulse irradiation and the average dissociation energy density of silicate based multicomponent glass is studied. A simple model based on multiphoton absorption quantifies the absorbed energy density at the ablation threshold fluence. This energy density is compared to a calculated energy density which is necessary to decompose the glass compound into its atomic constituents. The results confirm that this energy density is a crucial intrinsic material parameter for the description of the femtosecond laser ablation threshold fluence of dielectrics.
