Description
Ultrafast lasers are outstanding tools for glass processing. When focused inside a transparent substrate, a train of femtosecond pulses can be absorbed via non-linear interactions resulting in a permanent modification of the sample. In this work, we show how an extremely focused femtosecond laser beam followed by wet chemical etching can be used to create sub-micrometric channels in fused silica, realizing three-dimensional hollow structures in bulk material with an unprecedent resolution.
