Abstract:The selective and controlled formation of nanocrystals in glass is emerging as a versatile method to achieve functional photonics, optoelectronics, and quantum devices, such as single-photon emitters. Here, we investigate the use of wide-field polarimetric second-harmonic (SH) microscopy as a method to rapidly and nondestructively examine nanoscale crystal arrangements in laser-processed glass. As a case study, we investigate tellurite glass, where the formation of a trigonal tellurium (t-Te) nanocrystalline p… Show more
