Popis: Ferroelectric domain engineering has wide applications in optical and electronic industries. Compared with traditional electric field poling, femtosecond laser poling has many advantages, such as higher fabrication resolution, 3D engineering applicability, and lower costs of production. In this review, the recent research progress on ferroelectric domain engineering with femtosecond laser pulses is presented. We show the latest results, including complex domain structures fabricated in various kinds of ferroelectric crystals, and discuss the influence of laser poling parameters and conditions on the morphologies of inverted domains and their physical mechanisms. The technical challenges to overcome in future are also briefly discussed.
