Abstract

Appropriate polarization utilization makes the electric field vector direction and the statistically oriented localized states suitable for enhancing light-matter interactions so as to improve the efficiency of ultrafast laser writing, which will remarkably reduce the pulse energy and increase the processing speed for high density optical data storage, as well as manufacturing three-dimensional integrated optics and geometric phase optical elements.
