Abstract On the basis of the modulation depth in the interference and holographic processes, we discuss in this paper the quality of holograms generated by some femtosecond laser pulses of two different colors. The modulation depth in terms of the fringe contrast (MDFC ratio) of Higher-order sh- and ch-Gaussian temporal profiles (shnGTP and chnGTP) are investigated in detail. It’s shown that, when we use two lasers having a very large frequency detuning, the shnGTP exhibit more precise results than the Gaussian beams for holography. shnGTP give new areas of frequency detuning to realize the very significant value of the MDFC ratio for obtaining better holograms, which is impossible with Gaussian beams. It also permits flexibility in the variable frequency difference and pulse duration for good quality holograms, and in the case of the chnGTP, null regions develop and frequency bands are observed favoring the formation of the holograms. The numerical simulations are presented to illustrate and discuss the influence of the frequency detuning, the beam order and the controller parameter of the waves on the modulation depths. The propose theory will be a good basis for the development of some new experiments on the holographic interferometry and it will certainly be very useful for the specialists of the studied femtosecond laser pulses.

AbstractReal 3-D sub-νm lithography was performed with two-photon polymerization (2PP) using inorganic-organic hybrid polymer (ORMOCER®) resins. The hybrid polymers were synthesized by hydrolysis/polycondensation reactions (modified sol-gel synthesis) which allows one to tailor their material properties towards the respective applications, i.e., dielectrics, optics or passivation. Due to their photosensitive organic functionalities, ORMOCER®s can be patterned by conventional photo-lithography as well as by femtosecond laser pulses at 780 nm. This results in polymerized (solid) structures where the non-polymerized parts can be removed by conventional developers.ORMOCER® structures as small as 200 nm or even below were generated by 2PP of the resins using femtosecond laser pulses. It is demonstrated that ORMOCER®s have the potential to be used in components or devices built up by nm-scale structures such as, e.g., photonic crystals. Aspects of the materials in conjunction to the applied technology are discussed.

Abstract This paper presents the use of pulsed laser stimulation with picosecond and femtosecond laser pulses. We first discuss the resolution improvement that can be expected when using ultrashort laser pulses. Two case studies are then presented to illustrate the possibilities of the pulsed laser photoelectric stimulation in picosecond single-photon and femtosecond two-photon modes.

Abstract Metasurfaces composed of regularly arranged and deliberately oriented metallic nanoparticles can be employed to manipulate the amplitude, phase and polarization of an incident electromagnetic wave. The metasurfaces operating in the visible to near infrared spectral range rely on the modern fabrication technologies which offer a spatial resolution beyond the optical diffraction limit. Although direct laser writing is an alternative to the fabrication of nanostructures, the achievement of regular nanostructures with deep-subwavelength periods by using this method remains a big challenge. Here, we proposed and demonstrated a novel strategy for regulating disordered plasmonic nanoparticles into nanogratings with deep-subwavelength periods and reshaped nanoparticles by using femtosecond laser pulses. The orientations of the nanogratings depend strongly on the polarization of the femtosecond laser light. Such nanogratings exhibit reflection and polarization control over the reflected light, enabling the realization of polarization sensitive optical memory and color display with high spatial resolution and good chromacity.
