Abstract

In this report we present the results of the sub micrometer-size hillocks and bits recording on the surface and in the volume of dielectric materials using a direct femtosecond laser writing (DFLW) method. Lateral and axial dimensions of fabricated defects were measured (170 ±50) and (440 ±100) nm, respectively. 2D and 3D matrixes with the corresponding densities of 1 Gbit/cm2 and 6 Tbit/cm3 as well as waveguides were recorded using DFLW method.
