The effect of femtosecond laser micro-treatment in thermal and non-thermal modes on the structure of transparent glass-ceramic based on the ZnO–MgO–Al2O3–SiO2 system, characterized by increased mechanical strength and hardness, is investigated. The amorphization of nanoscale ganite (ZnAl2O4) crystals, which occurs under the irradiation of laser pulses, is confirmed by the results of electron microscopy and electron diffraction. Quantitative phase microscopy was used to evaluate changes in the refractive index in individual tracks written by a laser beam. At the repetition frequency of 10 kHz in non-thermal mode, complete amorphization of the crystal phases in volume glass-ceramic sample leads to an increase of the refractive index by the value ?n = 0.0007 in the laser processing area. The results obtained expand the potential applications of transparent glass-ceramics with increased mechanical properties and open up the possibility of forming channel waveguides in their volume by direct laserwriting.
