Abstract
We demonstrate laser-fabrication of length-controlled channels in the bulk of dielectrics with a spatial periodicity down to 0.7 µm and moderate aspect ratio (1:10), by single-shot ablation using different (fs/ps) pulse durations. We take advantage of beam shaping technique using an axicon and annular aperture to generate a Bessel beam with an extra control of the so-called “non-diffracting” length. The dimensions and pitch attained are suitable to envision the writing of NIR nanophotonic components. As a proof-of-principle demonstration, we fabricate patterns whose arrangements mimic photonic-crystal devices like waveguide, Y-coupler, and structures with square and triangular lattices as their basic units.
