Self-Aligned Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures for Large-Area Controllable Nanopatterning

Jiaxu Huang et al.

Summary: A robust approach is proposed to obtain controllable nanostructures with long-range order based on the half-periodic mismatched optical enhancement (h-MOE) effect. The new laser nanopatterning approach demonstrates controllable patterning ability to theoretically infinitely large-area super-straight gratings, orientation-controllable gratings, and half-periodic mismatched nanohole arrays.

Propagation dynamics of the solid-liquid interface in Ge upon ns and fs laser irradiation

Noemi Casquero et al.

Summary: In this study, the melting and solidification dynamics of germanium upon ns and fs laser pulse irradiation were investigated using real-time pump-probe experiments and finite element calculations. The results show significant differences in the melting and solidification velocities for different pulse durations and fluences, as well as variations in the maximum thickness of the molten layer. High precision measurements using fs microscopy also revealed large differences in the melt-in process.

Ultrafast Electron Dynamics and Optical Interference Tomography of Laser Excited Steel

Yasser Fuentes-Edfuf et al.

Summary: Femtosecond laser machining is a mature high-precision technology with a wide range of applications. Understanding the complex laser-matter interaction processes is crucial for fully utilizing its potential. A study on steel material under single laser pulse irradiation reveals ultrafast electron heating followed by energy transfer to the lattice, leading to temperature changes from below melting threshold to above boiling point within a few picoseconds. Additionally, an innovative approach to obtain the evolving 3D structure of laser-excited materials is reported.

Ultrashort pulsed laser induced complex surface structures generated by tailoring the melt hydrodynamics

Fotis Fraggelakis et al.

Summary: This study presents a novel approach to tailor laser-induced surface topography using double femtosecond laser pulses. The researchers found that different types of pulses and the delay between pulses have a significant impact on the surface profile, and the formation of complex surface morphologies can be controlled by modulating the spatial intensity and number of pulses. In addition, a multiscale model combining electron excitation with melt hydrodynamics was proposed to explain the generation of complex patterns.

Structuring and functionalization of non-metallic materials using direct laser interference patterning: a review

Lucinda Mulko et al.

Summary: Direct laser interference patterning (DLIP) is a laser-based surface structuring method known for its high throughput, flexibility, and resolution. While traditionally used for metallic surfaces, DLIP is gaining popularity in non-metallic materials for applications in fields such as photonics, optoelectronics, nanotechnology, and biomedicine. This review aims to collect and summarize the main findings and applications of DLIP on polymers, ceramics, composites, semiconductors, and other non-metals.

Influence of Sulphur Content on Structuring Dynamics during Nanosecond Pulsed Direct Laser Interference Patterning

Theresa Jaehnig et al.

Summary: The study focuses on the effects of varying sulphur content on steel surfaces structured with direct laser interference patterning (DLIP), showing that lower sulphur content results in single peak geometries while higher sulphur content leads to split peak structures. The peak formation is explained using concepts of thermocapillary convection in weld pools, and numerical simulations are utilized to investigate the influence of sulphur content in steel on melt pool convection during nanosecond single-pulsed DLIP.

Rewritable and Tunable Laser-Induced Optical Gratings in Phase-Change Material Films

Pavel Trofimov et al.

Summary: Laser-induced periodic surface structures can be fabricated in various solid materials, including phase-change material Ge2Sb2Te5 (GST), which offers strong modulation of optical properties due to its contrasting refractive index in crystalline and amorphous states. By optimizing laser exposure routines, large-scale high-quality phase-change gratings with controllable period can be achieved, demonstrating reversible tunability for applications in photonics. The results indicate the potential for fast and rewritable fabrication of high-quality periodic structures, providing a guideline for further development of phase-change material-based optical elements.
