A focused ion beam is used to mill side holes in air-silica structured fibres. By way of example, side holes are introduced in two types of air-structured fibres (1) a photonic crystal four-ring fibre and (2) a 6-hole single ring step index structured fibre.

Recent advances in focused ion beam technology have enabled high-resolution, direct-write nanofabrication using light ions. Studies with light ions to date have, however, focused on milling of materials where sub-surface ion beam damage does not inhi
bit device performance. Here we report on direct-write milling of single crystal diamond using a focused beam of oxygen ions. Material quality is assessed by Raman and luminescence analysis, and reveals that the damage layer generated by oxygen ions can be removed by nonintrusive post-processing methods such as localised electron beam induced chemical etching.
Nanostructures have become an attractive subject due to many applications, particularly the photonic bandgap effect observed in photonic crystals. Nevertheless, the fabrication of such structures remains a challenge because of accurate requirement co
ncerning regularity, shape, hole depth etc. of the structure. E-beam lithography permits a good control of dimensional parameters but needs a 1-step fabrication process. In our work, we have to combine traditional strip-load waveguides (SiO2/SiON/SiO2 on Si) and nanostructures whose dimension are totally different. This imposes a 2-step process where waveguides and nanostructures are successively fabricated. We have at our disposal different ways to characterize these nanostructures. A direct aspect control during and after FIB treatment can be achieved by FIB and SEM imaging. Scanning near-field optical microscopy (SNOM) is currently the most effective way to test guiding confinement in such surface structures by detecting the evanescent field.
We report on two novel ways for patterning Lithium Niobate (LN) at submicronic scale by means of focused ion beam (FIB) bombardment. The first method consists of direct FIB milling on LiNbO3 and the second one is a combination of FIB milling on a dep
osited metallic layer and subsequent RIE (Reactive Ion Etching) etching. FIB images show in both cases homogeneous structures with well reproduced periodicity. These methods open the way to the fabrication of photonic crystals on LiNbO3 substrates.
Focused-ion-beam milling is used to fabricate nanostencil masks suitable for the fabrication of magnetic nanostructures relevant for spin transfer torque studies. Nanostencil masks are used to define the device dimensions prior to the growth of the t
hin film stack. They consist of a wet etch resistant top layer and an insulator on top of a pre-patterned bottom electrode. The insulator supports a hard mask and gives rise to an undercut by its selective etching. The approach is demonstrated by fabricating current perpendicular to the plane Co/Cu/Co nanopillar junctions, which exhibit current-induced magnetization dynamics.
The deposition of boron-doped amorphous carbon thin films on SiO2 substrate was achieved via a focused ion beam-assisted chemical vapor deposition of triphenyl borane (C18H15B) and triphenyl borate (C18H15BO3). The existence of boron in the deposited
film from triphenyl borane, with a precursor temperature of 90 {deg}C, was confirmed by a core level X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy analysis. The film exhibited a semiconducting behavior with a band gap of 285 meV. Although the band gap was decreased to 197 meV after an annealing process, the film was still semiconductor. Additionally, a drastic reduction of the resistance on the deposited film by applying pressures was observed from an in-situ electrical transport measurements using a diamond anvil cell.
