Self-organized voids revisited:Experimental verification of the formation mechanism

We conduct several experiments to further clarify the formation mechanism of a self-organized void array induced by a single laser beam, including energy-related experiments, refractive-index-contrast-related experiments, depth-related ex- periments, and effective-numerical-aperture experiment. These experiments indicate that the interface spherical aberration is indeed responsible for the formation of void arrays.     

用飞秒激光在α-BBO晶体中诱导析出β-BBO相

通常超快强激光主要用于研究发生在材料内部,时间尺度在皮秒(10^-2s)到飞秒(10^-15s)范围内的动力学现象。然而,其极短的脉冲宽度,使得激光束经聚焦后在焦斑处的功率强度可达10^14W／cm^2。所以,当这种激光束被聚焦在透明材料的内部时,巨大的能量可在极短的时间内积聚在非常小的区域内,并使该区域内的温度和内压力急剧上升。
