Abstract
Description
3 光導波路
4 フェムト秒レーザ
5 レーザ光
また、集光位置Fの面積をSとすると、レーザ強度Iは、数式(2)で表される。
したがって、出力エネルギーPが一定の場合は、繰り返し周波数fを低くすると、パルスエネルギーEは大きくなり、図4に示すように、パルス形状は尖鋭で出力強度Iは非常に大きくなる。すなわち、繰り返し周波数fが100kHz未満、例えば、非特許文献1のように1kHzと低い場合は、パルス形状は尖鋭でしかもレーザ強度Iは非常に大きくなるため、LT基板2は集光位置Fでの熱によるダメージを受けやすく、好ましくない。しかも、この場合はパルスの発生間隔も長いため、レーザ光の照射による熱の緩和時間も長く、したがって熱が蓄積されないため、常光屈折率noを増加させることもできない。
パルス幅:82fs
繰り返し周波数:100kHz又は250kHz
パルスエネルギー:0.5μJ、1.0μJ、1.5μJ、又は2.0μJ
走査速度:100μm/s
〔対物レンズの仕様〕
倍率:50倍
開口数:0.8
次に、試料番号1〜18の各試料の断面を研磨し、偏光顕微鏡で断面形状を観察した。
