| contents | Control of laser writing in transparent dielectrics using temporal contrast of light pulses is demonstrated. Anisotropic nanopores in silica glass are produced by high-contrast of 10^7 femtosecond Yb: KGW laser pulses rather than low-contrast of 10^3 Yb fiber laser pulses. Low-contrast pulses are useful for creating lamellar birefringent structures, possibly driven by quadrupole nonlinear current. The difference originates in the fiber laser storing third of its energy in a post-pulse of 200 ps duration. The absorption of this low-intensity fraction of the pulse by laser-induced transient defects with relatively long lifetime and low excitation energy, such as self-trapped holes, drastically changes the kinetics of energy deposition and type of material modification. |
