Title: Photonic sculptures in glass: applications of the ultrafast-laser direct-write technique Speaker: Graham Marshall, Department of Physics, Macquarie University, Sydney, Australia Time: Thursday, November 18, 15.15 to 16.00 Place: Fysisk Auditorium Abstract: The use of femtosecond lasers for creating sub-micron level structures and modifications in glasses is a fascinating technique that has been applied in fields such as communications, astronomy and quantum optics. In this seminar we will review the capabilities, applications and some of the diagnostic techniques employed in the field and highlight some recent technological successes.
