Real-Time 3D Visualization of the Formation of Micrograting Structures Upon Direct Laser Interference Patterning of Ge
Laser & Photonics Rev. 17, 2300145 (2023)
Abstract
In this work, a novel strategy is developed to combine deep-ultraviolet (UV) DLIP (λ = 193 nm, τ = 23 ns) and real-time optical reflectivity and diffraction techniques to unravel the formation dynamics of grating structures with periods down to Λ = 740 nm. Applied to crystalline Ge wafers, single-pulse topography modulation profiles with amplitudes up to 85 nm can be imprinted. Moreover, the dynamics of the melting and solidification processes, as well as the surface topography deformation, can be followed in real-time. Combined with a model, changes in topography over time with ns resolution can be obtained. The results unambiguously reveal that the formation process of the 3D structures can only be understood when taking both Marangoni convection and thermocapillary waves into account. The technique presented here has the potential to unravel the formation dynamics of a wide range of periodic structures in other materials.

Abstract
Bragg gratings inscribed in active waveguides combine very efficient reflective properties with the amplifying capability of rare-earths, which may lead to large amplification and lasing performance. However, the response of these photonic structures highly depends on the grating parameters and working conditions, so modeling their behavior and dependences becomes fundamental. In this work, a numerical method has been implemented to simulate the optical power propagation along an Er/Yb-codoped integrated waveguide Bragg grating as a function of its most relevant operational parameters. The results obtained show the optimal conditions to maximize its performance as a highly amplifying reflector, but also its capability as a monolithic laser. In addition, the modeling results adequately match experimental values measured in fs-laser written structures in Er/Yb-codoped phosphate glass, supporting the accuracy of the numerical method developed and its usefulness for further optimizing these promising photonic structures.
