TY - CONF A1 - Bonse, Jörn T1 - A brief survey on open questions about laser-induced periodic surface structures N2 - The processing of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) represents a simple and robust way for the nanostructuring of solids that allows creating a wide range of surface functionalities featuring applications in optics, tribology, medicine, energy technologies, etc. While the currently available laser and scanner technology already allows surface processing rates at the m2/min level, industrial applications of LIPSS are sometimes hampered by the complex interplay between the nanoscale surface topography and the specific surface chemistry. This typically manifests in difficulties to control the processing of LIPSS and in limitations to ensure the long-term stability of the created surface functions. This presentation aims to identify some unsolved scientific problems related to LIPSS, discusses the pending technological limitations, and sketches the current state of theoretical modelling. Hereby, it is intended to stimulate further research and developments in the field of LIPSS for overcoming these limitations and for supporting the transfer of the LIPSS technology into industry.

During the past few years significantly increasing research activities have been reported in the field of LIPSS, since their generation in a single-step process provides a simple way of nanostructuring and surface functionalization towards the control of optical, mechanical, biological, or chemical surface properties. In this contribution the mechanisms of formation and current applications of LIPSS are reviewed, including the colorization of technical surfaces, the control of surface wetting properties, the mimicry of the natural texture of animal integuments, the tailoring of surface colonization by bacterial biofilms, the advancement of medical pacemakers, and the improvement of the tribological performance of nanostructured metal surfaces.

During the last decades, this has been significantly driven by the availability of high-repetition-rate laser sources and novel beam delivery concepts. At the laser side, Moore’s law equally manifests for ultrafast laser technologies, since the average output power of such lasers doubles approximately every two years. This development is mainly driven by the increase of the pulse repetition rates of energetic laser pulses, currently enforcing the development of smart beam control and novel scanning strategies for preventing heat-accumulation and plasma-shielding effects during laser-based materials processing. This keynote presentation addresses the advantages, recent developments, and perspectives of laser processing with ultrashort laser pulses. A special focus is laid on the tailored structuring of thin films as well as the manufacturing and probing of sub-diffraction surface nanostructures – an ongoing race to extreme scales. Current limitations are identified and an outlook to future scaling perspectives will be provided.

N2 - Bacterial biofilms are aggregates of bacterial cells, often attached to a surface and enclosed by a self-produced extracellular matrix which confers increased stress tolerance and resistance to cleaning. Biofilm formation leads to biofouling which gives rise to high costs in numerous technical settings due to biocorrosion and biodegradation. However, biofilms can also be attractive for industrial settings such as wastewater treatment systems or for soil bioremediation processes. Hence, the control of bacterial adhesion to a surface is of major concern. Surface topography strongly influences bacterial adhesion. Therefore, one promising way to achieve bacteria-guiding surfaces lies in the contactless and aseptic large-area laser processing of technical surfaces. We used short and ultrashort pulsed laser systems to generate different surface textures, mainly high-spatial-frequency and low-spatial-frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures, LIPSS (HFSL and LFSL), on Ti, Ti-alloy, steel, and polymers (PET and PE). Pristine (polished) and laser processed samples were subjected to bacterial adhesion experiments with two different Escherichia coli strains and Staphylococcus aureus as test organisms. The bacterial strains differed in their cell wall structure (grampositive vs. gramnegative strains), in size, shape, the occurrence of cell appendages, and in their biofilm forming capabilities. Adhesion patterns were analyzed microscopically and compared regarding the respective test strain and surface topography. Our results revealed that adhesion behavior strongly depends not only on the material’s topography and chemistry, but also on the specific bacterial strain, the presence of cell appendages, and ambient growth conditions.

A1 - Bonse, Jörn T1 - Capabilities and limitations of Sipe’s first principles LIPSS theory: current aspects and directions N2 - This presentation elucidates the fundamentals and capabilities of John E. Sipe’s first principles theory (1983) of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS), representing an analytical mathematical approach (Green’s formalism) to calculate the absorption of electromagnetic radiation at a microscopically rough surface via the so-called efficacy factor. It includes a discussion of assumptions made in the theory and resulting limitations, such as the restriction to a near-surface layer (the so-called “selvedge”), the lack of any material response, or missing inter-pulse feedback phenomena being relevant in typical multi-pulse irradiation conditions. The influence of the angle of incidence, the polarization direction (s-pol. or p-pol.), the optical properties (dielectric permittivity) of the irradiated materials, as well as its surface roughness and its specific encoding in the theory via a shape factor (s) and a filling factor (f) are addressed. A simplifying mathematical reformulation (without changing the validity range) of Sipe’s theory in the form of 14 complex-valued equations published in 2005 is motivated, as well as the necessity of some minor adjustments for non-normal incident radiation - revealed in a very recent Erratum. Starting with 2009, extensions of the original theory were developed, e.g., the analytical Sipe-Drude model in order to include intra-pulse transient changes of the optical properties of the material. Finite-difference time-domain (FDTD) numerical simulations successfully confirmed in 2012 the validity of the Sipe-Drude approach. Moreover, the FDTD formalism can be extended to sub-surface regions and can be combined with a material response (topography) modelling for iteratively considering inter-pulse feedback phenomena. Finally, we will provide characteristic examples of Sipe’s efficacy factor for typical material classes (metals, semiconductors, dielectrics), we will explain how the results can be interpreted, and line out how the Sipe theory may be extended further.
