Modelling of impact of a sequence of laser pulses with different wavelengths on glass

The following scheme of materials fabrication by a sequence of two laser pulses with different wavelength is investigated by numerical modelling. At first, the glass is irradiated by a shortwave pulse, which produces seed electrons in the conductive zone of a small size (in order to several cubic wavelengths) volume due to photoionization. The long wavelength second pulse provides the further increase of conductive electrons density due to impact ionization and high absorption of radiative energy. The absorbed energy is so large, so it provides the modification of material. Thereby the material modification is created in a small volume of space, which is determined by the smallest wavelength. The energies of both pulses could be well below the energy required for the modification by single pulse. The modelling was done in the frame of nonlinear Maxwell equations supplemented by hydrodynamic type equations for the plasma of conductive zone electrons. The features of used finite-difference scheme are also discussed.
