    Femtosecond laser-written double line waveguides in germanate and tellurite glasses
    2018 - SILVA, DIEGO S. da; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; SAMAD, RICARDO E.; KASSAB, LUCIANA R.P.
    The authors report the fabrication and characterization of passive waveguides in GeO2ā€“PbO and TeO2ā€“ZnO glasses written with a femtosecond laser delivering pulses with 3Ī¼J, 30Ī¼J and 80fs at 4kHz repetition rate. Permanent refractive index change at the focus of the laser beam was obtained and waveguides were formed by two closely spaced laser written lines, where the light guiding occurs between them. The refractive index change at 632 nm is around 10-4 . The value of the propagation losses was around 2.0 dB/cm. The output mode profiles indicate multimodal guiding behavior. Raman measurements show structural modification of the glassy network. The results show that these materials are potential candidates for passive waveguides applications as low-loss optical components.

    Production and characterization of femtosecond laser-written double line waveguides in heavy metal oxide glasses
    2018 - SILVA, DIEGO S. da; WETTER, NIKLAUS U.; ROSSI, WAGNER de; KASSAB, LUCIANA R.P.; SAMAD, RICARDO E.
    We report the fabrication and characterization of double line waveguides directly written in tellurite and germanate glasses using a femtosecond laser delivering 30 mu J, 80 fs pulses at 4 kHz repetition rate. The double line waveguides produced presented internal losses inferior to 2.0 dB/cm. The output mode profile and the M-2 measurements indicate multimodal guiding behavior. A better beam quality for the GeO2 - Pbo waveguide was observed when compared with TeO2 - ZnO glass. Raman spectroscopy of the waveguides showed structural modification of the glassy network and indicates that a negative refractive index modification occurs at the focus of the laser beam, therefore allowing for light guiding in between two closely spaced laser written lines. The refractive index change at 632 nm is around 10(-4), and the structural changes in the laser focal region of the writing, evaluated by Raman spectroscopy, corroborated our findings that these materials are potential candidates for optical waveguides and passive components. To the best of our knowledge, the two double line configuration demonstrated in the present work was not reported before for germanate or tellurite glasses.
