    Abstract

    Femtosecond laser structuring of un-doped poly(methyl methacrylate) at 387 nm produced features <0.5 μm, wave guides and grating structures inside polymer fibre with refractive index change of 3x10-3. Polymer backbone cleavage and monomer formation cause photo-modification. © 2006 Optical Society of America.
