Abstract
We obtained a temporal and permanent refractive index change in niobium tellurite glasses by using ps- and fs-pulses, respectively. A He–Ne laser beam was guided by a line waveguide structure drawn by the fs-pulses, indicating positive refractive index change. It is suggested that the refractive index change by the ps-pulses is due to an increase in the absorption coefficient while that caused by the fs-pulses results from the rearrangement of the glass structure.
