Abstract

âº Damaging of silica single-mode fibre with 405Â nm diode lasers is reported. âº The damage on end surfaces is due to the generation of periodic surface structures. âº We suggest that the ripple structure is formed by a self-organising process. âº The transformation of defect centres enhances the generation of surface structures.
