In the framework of laser-induced micro- and nanoscale material modification, we present results on ultrafast Bessel beam-glass interaction, inducing extended length scale material modification on single-shot basis. Using ultrashort zero-order Bessel laser pulse in tight focusing geometries, we studied the excitation and relaxation behaviour of fused silica glass over a temporal domain ranging from nanoseconds to microseconds. We revealed the structural evolution dynamics, and in particular the signs of emergence of a void-like phase via micro-explosion on a rather slow time scale i.e. few hundred nanoseconds after laser excitation. Nevertheless, the Bessel beam-glass interaction was exploited for ultimate nanoscale material transformation.
