Item Open Access 30-fs 1.6 mJ pulses at a kHz repetition rate from a single stage DPSS Yb amplifier(OSA, 2010) Andriukaitis, G.; Kartashov, D.; Pugzlys, A.; Lorenc, D.; Baltuska, A.; Giniunas, L.; Danielius, R.; İlday, Ömer Fatih200-fs 2.5-mJ pulses from a cw-diode-pumped Yb:CaF2 MOPA are spectrally broadened in Ar and recompressed to 30 fs at 980 nm using a prism pair. Multi-millijoule 12-fs pulses are feasible upon higher-order spectral phase correction.Item Open Access Buried waveguides written deep inside silicon(OSA, 2017) Turnalı, Ahmet; Tokel, Onur; Kesim, Denizhan Koray; Makey, Ghaith; Elahi, Parviz; İlday, Fatih ÖmerSummary form only given. Silicon waveguides are widely used as optical interconnects and they are particularly important for Si-photonics. Si-based devices, along with other optical elements, are entirely fabricated on the top surface of Si wafers. However, further integration of photonic and electronic devices in the same chip requires a new approach. One alternative is to utilize the bulk of the wafer for fabricating photonic elements. Recently, we reported a direct-laser-writing method that exploits nonlinear interactions and can generate subsurface modifications inside silicon without damaging the surface. Using this method, we fabricated several functional optical elements including gratings, lenses, and holograms. In this work, we demonstrate optical waveguides entirely embedded in Si.
