TY - JOUR A1 - Mann, Guido A1 - Jurke, Mathias A1 - Zoheidi, M. A1 - Krüger, Jörg T1 - Influence of mechanical stress on nanosecond laser-induced damage threshold of fused silica N2 - Optical multimode fibers made of fused silica are widely used for transmission of high power laser pulses. Bending of fibers creates mechanical stress inside the material. The bend stress of a fiber can be calculated from bend radius, geometrical fiber parameters and Young's Modulus of the fiber core material and reaches typically values of 220 MPa. A thermo-elastic model of Kusov et al. predicts a quadratic dependence of laser-induced damage threshold fluence with applied stress. In the present study, fiber preform material F300 (Heraeus) was loaded mechanically with pressures up to 220 MPa representing 20% of the pressure resistance of fused silica. Bulk laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) were evaluated using a longitudinal multimode Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm) at a pulse duration of 12 ns with polarization states parallel and perpendicular to the stress direction. LIDT of fused silica samples of about 700 J/cm2 were found. LIDT did not show a dependence on mechanical pressure and polarization state which is a consequence of the small ratio of maximum applied stress (220 MPa) to Young's Modulus of fused silica (72.5 GPa).

Layer thicknesses from below the optical penetration depth to above the thermal diffusion length (60 nm–13 µm) were examined. After correction of the damage-threshold values for the fraction of energy effectively absorbed by the material, the damage threshold was found to increase linearly with the layer thickness, also for film thicknesses below the optical penetration depth of a-C:H. The threshold fluence reached the bulk value for a layer thickness equal to the thermal diffusion length. The thermal diffusion coefficient was obtained from fitting the experimental data. Several phenomena like graphitization, blistering, exfoliation, and ablation were observed for different fluence regimes and film thicknesses.

Low and high refracting films with thicknesses d ranging from 11 nm to 5.8 µm were produced having refractive indices n between 1.68 and 2.41 and linear absorption coefficients of α~100 cm-1 and α~20000 cm-1 at 800 nm wavelength as a result of different plasma modes. Laser ablation thresholds Fth in dependence on d were determined using 30-fs laser pulses. Low absorbing layers show a constant Fth while Fth increases with rising d up to the optical penetration depth of light α-1 for high absorbing films.

However, the robust nature of biofilms makes them also attractive for industrial applications where cell biocatalysts are increasingly in use. Since tailoring material properties that affect bacterial growth or its inhibition is gaining attention, here we focus on the effects of femtosecond laser produced nanostructures on bacterial adhesion. Large area periodic surface structures were generated on steel surfaces using 30-fs laser pulses at 790 nm wavelength. Two types of steel exhibiting a different corrosion resistance were used, i.e., a plain structural steel (corrodible) and a stainless steel (resistant to corrosion). Homogeneous fields of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were realized utilizing laser fluences close to the ablation threshold while scanning the sample under the focused laser beam in a multi-pulse regime. The nanostructures were characterized with optical and scanning electron microscopy. For each type of steel, more than ten identical samples were laser-processed. Subsequently, the samples were subjected to microbial adhesion tests. Bacteria of different shape and adhesion behavior (Escherichia coli and Staphylococcus aureus) were exposed to laser structures and to polished reference surfaces. Our results indicate that E. coli preferentially avoids adhesion to the LIPSS-covered areas, whereas S. aureus favors these areas for colonization.

A1 - Eberstein, Markus A1 - Krüger, Jörg T1 - Influence of core diameter and coating material on nanosecond laser-induced damage threshold of optical multimode fibers N2 - Single and multi pulse laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDT) of core, cladding, and coating materials of high-power optical multimode fibers were determined in accordance with ISO 11254 for 532 nm and 1064 nm wavelength in the 10-ns pulse duration regime with spatial Gaussian beam shape. For all-silica fibers, LIDT increases with rising core diameter in a range between 100-600 µm for a constant cladding-core ratio of 1.2. The damage resistance of the low refracting cladding (0.3 % fluorine doped fused silica) is comparable to the undoped SiO2 core. Coating materials show significantly lower LIDT than light-guiding parts of the fibers.

T1 - Incubation of laser ablation in fused silica with 5-fs pulses N2 - Zusammenfassung The threshold fluences for laser-induced damage of fused silica with single 5-fs pulses from a Ti:sapphire laser system were determined by extrapolating the ablated volume to zero. These thresholds are about 4 times as high as the values previously obtained from multi-shot experiments. This result is interpreted in terms of an irreversible modification of the original material below the single-shot threshold (incubation).

A1 - Krüger, Jörg T1 - Implications of transient changes of optical and surface properties of solids during femtosecond laser pulse irradiation to the formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures N2 - The formation of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) upon irradiation of silicon wafer surfaces by linearly polarized Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser pulses (pulse duration 130 fs, central wavelength 800 nm) is studied experimentally and theoretically. In the experiments, so-called low-spatial frequency LIPSS (LSFL) were found with periods smaller than the laser wavelength and an orientation perpendicular to the polarization. The experimental results are analyzed by means of a new theoretical approach, which combines the widely accepted LIPSS theory of Sipe et al. with a Drude model, in order to account for transient (intra-pulse) changes of the optical properties of the irradiated materials. It is found that the LSFL formation is caused by the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons, SPPs, once the initially semiconducting material turns to a metallic state upon formation of a dense free-electron-plasma in the material and the subsequent interference between its electrical field with that of the incident laser beam resulting in a spatially modulated energy deposition at the surface. Moreover, the influence of the laser-excited carrier density and the role of the feedback upon the multi-pulse irradiation and its relation to the excitation of SPP in a grating-like surface structure is discussed.
