We report on self-assembled volume grating in silica glass induced by a tightly focused femtosecond laser pulse. The formation of volume grating is attributed to the multiple microexplosion in the transparent materials induced by the femtosecond pulses. The first order diffractive efficiency is greatly dependent on the energy of the pulses and the scanning velocity of the laser, and the highest reaches to nearly 30%.

The linear angular dispersion of a self-diffraction (SD) pulse, from a femtosecond laser pulse cleaning device, is compensated for by the use of a single prism. More than $500~\unicode[STIX]{x03BC}\text{J}$ first-order SD pulse has a contrast of $10^{12}$, which is about five orders of magnitude improvement from the input fundamental pulse. The wings of the distribution away from the main pulse in $\pm 1$ ps are cleaned with a contrast improvement of about $10^{7}$, which verifies the pulse cleaning ability of the SD process.
