Résumé

Programmable spatial beam shaping using phase modulation proved to be an efficient tool for direct and flexible femtosecond laser marking at a Fourier plane of an objective, but not well adapted to deep machining or to photowriting in the bulk of a material. We propose an optimization of the focal volume by use of an additional wavefront correction located in the Fourier plane which compensates in particular the focus component. Theoretical predictions involving non-paraxial scalar diffraction are compared to experimental results obtained with a 100 kHz µJ-range femtosecond laser amplifier. Improvements in the beam characteristics, especially the Rayleigh range and the laser fluence, provided by such an additional wavefront control are underlined.
