Abstract

Over last decade, ultrafast lasers became industrially viable tool for high precision material processing. Ability to modify in the bulk of transparent materials is one of unique attributes of this technology. This have been successfully used for glass cutting, implementation of photonic circuits and microfluidic chips, local engineering of optical fibre properties. This talk will explore how ultrafast lasers can be used to engineer optical scattering systems. The exploitation of this process for developing low loss distributed sensing systems and compact optical spectrometer will be discussed and demonstrated.
