Light driven self-drilling in glasses

It is shown that ArF laser beam may act as effective driller producing in fuzed quartz micron radius channel up to 1cm long while diameter of light spot is few millimeters. Drill formation is accompanied by compaction effect in the drill walls therefore material is not thrown out the channel.
