Femtosecond Laser Processing of Materials (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9783659311369)

Femtosecond lasers have been considered as a promising tool for micro/nano-scale patterning of various materials. This book describes the fundamental concepts of lasers, laser processing technologies, recent advances in forming a variety of micro/nano-metric structures in glasses & metals and their potential application areas. A comparative study among various material processing technologies have been discussed: lithographic technologies, vapor deposition technologies, and laser processing technologies. The fundamental concepts of femtosecond laser-material interactions are also discussed. The primary focus of the book is to provide in depth ideas about the fabrication of various structures including micro/nano-holes, micro/nano-gratings, self-organized nanogratings, nanocones, micro/nano-ripples, spherical-shaped nanostructures, and ring-shaped micropatterns in a variety of materials. These kinds of micro/nano-structures have definite applications in photonics/optical devices, superhydrophobic surfaces, 3D optical data storage, micro/nano-fluidic devices, glass cutting, metal colorizing, friction reduction, and forming metamaterials.
