T1 - Polarization effects on laser-inscribed angled micro-structures JF - Applied Surface Science N2 - The polarization of the laser beam exhibits more substantial differences in laser micromachining as the angle of incidence deviates from zero. In the reported work, our focus was to explore the effects of circularly, p- and s-polarized laser on angled ultrashort pulse laser micromachining of micropillar arrays. The examination encompassed laser process factors, including angles of incidence, microstructure dimensions, and inter-pillar spacing. A comparison between the resulting structures demonstrated that p-polarized laser beam was the most efficient in material removal in angled laser micromachining, followed by circularly polarized laser. While the s-polarized beam exhibited the lowest ablation efficiency among the three. Such distinction is mainly attributed to the distinguishing reflectivity of the three states of polarization on tilted planes. The development of structural heights during ablation processes was examined, and potential defects in laser processing methodologies were interpreted. The dependency of structural heights on inter-pillar spacing was analyzed. This study bridges the gap between existing studies on angled ultrashort pulse laser machining and the influences of polarization on laser machining. The comparison between structures produced using laboratory-scale and industrial-scale laser systems also yielded pertinent recommendations for facilitating a smooth transition of angled laser micromachining from laboratory-scale research to industrial applications.

This study reports on how fs-laser irradiation of commercially available Nb foil samples affects their superconducting behavior. DC magnetization and AC susceptibility measurements at cryogenic temperatures and with magnetic fields of different amplitude and orientation are thus analyzed and reported. This study pays special attention to the surface superconducting layer that persists above the upper critical magnetic field strength Hc2, and disappears at a higher nucleation field strength Hc3. Characteristic changes were distinguished between the surface properties of the laser-irradiated samples, as compared to the corresponding reference samples (non-irradiated). Clear correlations have been observed between the surface nanostructures and the nucleation field Hc3, which depends on the relative orientation of the magnetic field and the surface patterns developed by the laser irradiation.
