Nearly equal-energy double-pulse sequences are generated allowing the temporal pulse delay Δt between the cross-polarized individual fs-laser pulses to be varied from -40 ps to +40 ps with a resolution of ~0.2 ps. The surface morphologies of the irradiated surface areas are characterized by means of scanning electron and scanning force microscopy. Particularly for dielectrics in the sub-ps delay range striking differences in the orientation and spatial characteristics of the LIPSS can be observed. For fused silica, a significant decrease of the LIPSS spatial periods from ~790 nm towards ~550 nm is demonstrated for delay changes of less than ~2 ps. In contrast, for silicon under similar irradiation conditions, the LIPSS periods remain constant (~760 nm) for delays up to 40 ps. The results prove the impact of laser-induced electrons in the conduction band of the solid and associated transient changes of the optical properties on fs-LIPSS formation.

In the experiments, the dependence on the laser fluence and the number of laser pulses per irradiation spot has been analyzed. For a moderate number of laser pulses (N < 1000) and at fluences between ~0.09 and ~0.35 J/cm², predominantly low-spatial-frequency-LIPSS with periods between 400 nm and 800 nm are observed perpendicular to the polarization. In a narrow fluence range between 0.05 and 0.09 J/cm², high-spatial-frequency-LIPSS with sub-100-nm spatial periods (~λ/10) can be generated with an orientation parallel to the polarization (N = 50). These experimental results are complemented by calculations based on a theoretical LIPSS model and compared to the present literature.

T1 - Film side laser patterning of molybdenum thin films sputter-deposited onto glass N2 - Serial interconnection of CIGSe thin film solar modules involves typically glass-side laser patterning of the molybdenum layer (P1 scribe). In this paper we present a working principle of P1 film side patterning. The investigated samples were sputter-deposited onto soda-lime glass substrates. For understanding the fundamental ablation behavior, two kinds of layer systems were studied: on the one hand monolayer systems which are compressively stressed and on the other hand bilayer systems, consisting of a tensile stressed layer on the substrate and a second layer on top. The film-side ablation process was studied using a nanosecond as well as a picosecond laser source. The influence of intrinsic stress was studied by XRD. Time resolved spectroscopy reveals the formation of plasma as important driving mechanism for ablation. It is shown that by proper adaption of the sputter conditions high-quality P1 film side patterning is achieved.

Irradiation spots have been generated with different peak fluences and subsequently investigated by optical topometry, micro Raman spectroscopy and microscale mechanical indentation in order to evaluate their microscopic, topographical, structural and mechanical properties (e.g. elastic modulus). By this multi-method approach, a clear separation of different effects (delamination and graphitisation) becomes possible. The joint application of mechanical and spectroscopic techniques provides unique insights into the effects of the fs-laser radiation on the carbon layer.

Permanent modifications were generated at the surface of the glass samples with varying laser fluences in the ablative regime and evaluated for changes in the corresponding Raman band positions and bandwidths. For increasing laser fluences, the position of certain Raman bands changed, indicating an increase in the mass density of the glass inside the irradiated area. Simultaneously, the widths of all investigated bands increased, indicating a higher degree of disorder in the glass structure with respect to bond-angle and bond-length variations.

T1 - Compositional dependent response of silica-based glasses after femtosecond laser pulse irradiation N2 - Femtosecond laser pulse irradiation of inorganic glasses allows a selective modification of the optical properties with very high precision. This results in the possibility for the production of three-dimensional functional optical elements in the interior of glass materials, such as optical data storage, waveguide writing, etc. The influence of the chemical glass composition to the response upon ultrashort laser irradiation has not been studied systematically. For that, simple silicabased model glasses composed of systematically varying alkaline- and earth-alkaline components were prepared, irradiated on the surface and in the volume with single fs-laser pulses (~130 fs, 800 nm), and were subsequently analyzed by means of micro-Raman spectroscopy and quantitative phase contrast microscopy in order to account for changes in the glass structure and for alterations of the optical refractive index, respectively. The Raman spectroscopic studies of the laser-irradiated spots revealed no change in the average binding configuration (the so called Q-structure), but local changes of bond-angles and bond-lengths within the glass structure structure. Those changes are explained by structural relaxation of the glass network due to densification caused by a transient laser-induced plasma generation and the following shock wave and other thermal phenomena. Glasses with a low amount of network modifiers show changes in the Si-O network while glasses with a high amount of network modifiers react primarily via variation of the nonbridging oxygen ions. The results are discussed in terms of possible structural response mechanisms and conclusions are outlined regarding glass compositions with technical suitability for fs-laser modifications.

The stoichiometry of the silicate glasses is varied systematically to reveal the influence of the glass composition on the nonlinear optical properties. Additionally, the thermal properties such as glass–transformation temperature and thermal expansion coefficient are obtained from dilatometric measurements.

For this purpose, the nonlinear generation of conduction band electrons in silicon and their relaxation is numerically calculated using a two-temperature model approach including intrapulse changes of optical properties, transport, diffusion and recombination effects. Following the idea that surface plasmon polaritons (SPP) can be excited when the material turns from semiconducting to metallic state, the 'SPP active area' is calculated as function of fluence and double-pulse delay up to several picoseconds and compared to the experimentally observed rippled surface areas. Evidence is presented that multi-photon absorption explains the large increase of the rippled area for temporally overlapping pulses. For longer double-pulse delays, relevant relaxation processes are identified. The results demonstrate that femtosecond LIPSS on silicon are caused by the excitation of SPP and can be controlled by temporal pulse shaping.

T1 - Self-assembly of a new type of periodic surface structure in a copolymer by excimer laser irradiation above the ablation threshold N2 - We report self-assembly of periodic surface structures in a commercial block copolymer (BCP) (Filofocon A) upon irradiation with a few tens of excimer laser pulses (20 ns, 193 nm) at fluences above the ablation threshold. This new type of structures is characterized by much larger periods than those characteristic for Laser-Induced Periodic Surface Structures (LIPSS) and features nanochains instead of ripples. We find a period of 790?nm at 400 mJ/cm², scaling linearly with laser fluence up to a maximum of 1.0 µm. While an entangled random network of nanochains is produced for normal-incidence and non-polarized light, nanochain alignment can be achieved either by irradiation at an angle or by using linearly polarized light, forming a lamella-like structure. In both cases, the nanochains are aligned parallel to the penetrating polarization orientation and their period does not show a dependence on the angle of incidence, as opposed to the general behavior of standard LIPSS. Also, our results show that the chains are not formed by frozen capillary waves. In contrast, we show analogies of the nanochains produced to lamellar structures fabricated on a smaller scale in other BCP. We discuss the origin of the self-assembly process in terms of a combination of chemical (BCP), optical (surface scattering), and thermal (melting, coarsening, and ablation) effects.

In a recent work we have investigated the induced changes in the surface topography upon exposure to wavelengths in the visible and near infrared spectral region.

The surfaces were characterized before and after laser irradiation by optical microscopy, scanning electron microscopy, atomic force microscopy, X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, energy dispersive X-ray spectroscopy and by measuring the contact angle with Ringer's solution. The LIPSS formation resulted in an increased wetting of the surface with the lubricant. Moreover, the selectively structured composite surfaces revealed a coefficient of friction significantly reduced by a factor of ~3 when compared to the non-irradiated surface. Furthermore, the formation of a laser-induced oxidation layer was detected with NbO as the most prominent oxidation state. Selectively structured composites with outstanding mechanical properties and enhanced tribological performance are of particular interest for biomedical applications.
