Material surfaces irradiated with laser radiation under specific conditions can lead to laser-induced periodic surface structure (LIPSS) formation. The formation of these surface structures is a robust one-step method that allows for high throughput and cheap surface nano-structuring with spatial periods that can be greatly lower than the irradiating laser wavelength. Typically, a structural size ranges from several micrometers down to less than 100 nm and the structures strongly correlate with the polarization direction of the light used for their formation. The regularity of LIPSS formation depends on various laser and material parameters. Some metals can exhibit highly regular LIPSS (HR-LIPSS) when the correct conditions are met. One of the main drawbacks of precise LIPSS texturization is the difficulty in controlling the ripple quality. Thus, understanding the processes which lead to HR-LIPSS formation is one step in making laser-based material texturization more prevalent. The aim of this research was to create highly regular surface structures and investigate how the ripple formation depends on various laser and material properties. The experiment was carried out using femtosecond laser systems. Different laser harmonics modules were used for the LIPSS formation to cover both the IR and UV wavelengths. Structures were formed on various steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium samples employing different laser wavelengths, pulse energies, pulse overlaps, and polarizations. The resulting surface structures were then examined both visually and with the help of a scanning electron microscope (SEM). LIPSS images taken by SEM were then digitally processed to calculate the distribution of LIPSS orientation angle (DLOA) which characterizes the regularity of the surface structures. We show that by using ultraviolet femtosecond laser sources, choosing the right pulse energy, pulse overlap values, and sufficiently sharp focusing lens, HR-LIPSS can be formed on metals for which highly regular ripples don’t form using infrared laser radiation.

A tightly focused ultrafast pulsed laser beam is guided into the volume of the photosensitive material and induces nonlinear photomodification. By translating the sample, the position of the focus is changed relatively, thus point-by-point complex 3D structures can be written inside the bulk. In this report, we present a Laser Two-Photon Polymerization (LTPP) setup for three-dimensional micro/nanostructuring for applications in photonics, microoptics, micromechanics, microfluidics and biomedicine. This system enables fabrication of functional devices over a large area (up to several cm in lateral size) with reproducible sub-micrometer resolution (up to 200 nm). In our experiments a Yb:KGW active media laser oscillator (75 fs, 200 kW, 515 nm frequency doubled, 80 MHz) was used as an irradiation source. The sample was mounted on XYZ wide range linear motor driven positioning stages having 10 nm positioning resolution. These stages enable an overall travelling range of 100 mm into X and Y directions and 50 mm in Z direction and support a linear scanning speed of up to 300 mm/s. Control of all the equipment was automated via custom made computer software "3D-Poli" specially designed for LTPP applications. The model of the structure can be imported as CAD file, this enables rapid and flexible structuring out of various photopolymers like ORMOCERs, ORMOSILs, acrylates and PEGDAs which are commonly used in conventional UV mask, nanoimprint and μ-stereolithographies. In this paper, we demonstrate polymeric microstructures fabricated over a large area on glass, plastic and metal substrates. This opens a way to produce functional devices like photonic crystals, microlenses, micromechanic and microfluidic components and artificial scaffolds as templates for cell growth. Additionally, results of primary myogenic stem cells expanding on microfabricated polymeric scaffolds are provided. Cell proliferation tests show the material and structure to be biocompatible for the biomedical practice.
