| To build up optical communications engineering
such as optical computers, ultrahigh-density optical memories
and so on, it is essential to fabricate technology of optics
materials in the space selective and the ultrahigh-minute
fields. Photon Craft is a technology that intends to materialize
novel fabrication techniques inside glass by using optics
materials with femto (10-15) second lasers, actively
using the properties of super high intensity and coherence. |
|
| We made it possible to fabricate minute 3-D
waveguides by drawing optical waveguides inside glass, using
femotosecond lasers. Also the possibility to space-selectively
precipitating and eliminating metals inside silicate glass
containing Ag, Au ions has been confirmed, which will lead
to the development of ultrahigh-density optical memories. |

In this cooperative research with Chinese
Academy of Sciences, through a research on laser physical
chemistry and quantum optics, Japanese side has successfully
developed techniques of crystalline fabrication of artificiality
optics at a nano (10-9)metric level and ultrahigh-speed
scanning technology. At the same time, with a research on
crystalline/quantum chemistry, Chinese side has conducted
material studies and found useful optics materials including
rare earth elements. The achievements of this cooperative
research are expected to result in novel optics elements
which will lead to optical computers finally. |
