In the case of femtosecond lasers, this produces a fluence loss that decreases its processing performance. In this work, the phase change produced by an astigmatic femtosecond laser beam (direct exposition to the) and a corrected beam (applying a simple adaptive optics process) is compared. The astigmatic correction decreases the modification threshold by approximately a magnitude order and changes the sign of the refractive index change at low pulse energies.}, organization = {This work has been supported by the project TEC2016-76021-C2-2-R (AEI/FEDER, UE) and grants BES-2014-069736 from Ministerio de Economía y Competitividad.}, publisher = {SPIE Society of Photo-Optical Instrumentation Engineers}, publisher = {Proceedings of SPIE, 2019, 11199, 111992T}, publisher = {Seventh European Workshop on Optical Fibre Sensors (EWOFS 2019), Limassol, Chipre, 2019}, title = {Astigmatism compensation for waveguide inscription in optical fiber by femtosecond lasers}, author = {Pallarés Aldeiturriaga, David and Roldán Varona, Pablo and Rodríguez Cobo, Luis and López Higuera, José Miguel}, }
