   Recent advances in material modification by strong fields: from poling to femtosecond laser writing  P. G. Kazansky, M. Beresna, C. Corbari, A. Canagasabey, M. Ibsen University of Southampton, UK  Y. Shimotsuma, M. Sakakura, K. Miura, K. Hirao  University of Kyoto, Japan  J.

Summary: Poling and femtosecond laser writing are two techniques which are normally used for modification of second-order optical nonlinearity and refractive index of glass. Strong dc and light fields are believed to be responsible for such modifications. Recently it has been observed that high dc field can dissolve metal nanoparticles in glass opening a prospect of new  application  of  poling  for  engineering  of  glass-metal  nanocomposites.  In  its  turn formation  of  3D  self-assembled  sub-wavelength  periodic  structures  has  been  discovered during femtosecond laser direct writing [4-6]. Recent progress in poling, femtosecond laser direct writing and related nanostructuring of glass is reviewed.  [1] O. Deparis, P.G. Kazansky, A. Abdolvand, A. Podliensky, G. Seifert, and H.
