Drill-bit-inspired dynamic focal fields for augmented laser materials processing
Evangelos Skoulas, Pinku Yadav, Justin Hidjam +8
Laser manufacturing has advanced through increasingly precise control of power, pulse duration, repetition rate and scan trajectory, yet the spatial intensity profile of the beam i…
Wettability and Color Change of Copper by Controlling Area Fraction of Laser Ablated Surface
Mantas Gaidys, Stella Maragkaki, Alexandros Mimidis +6
In this research, wettability control by area fraction of laser ablated surface of copper is presented. The functional surfaces with full wettability control from highly hydrophili…
Influence of Heat Accumulation on Morphology Debris Deposition and Wetting of LIPSS on Steel upon High Repetition Rate Femtosecond Pulses Irradiation
Camilo Florian, Yasser Fuentes-Edfuf, Evangelos Skoulas +4
The fabrication of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) over extended areas at high processing speeds requires the use of high repetition rate femtosecond lasers. It i…
Laser engineering of biomimetic surfaces
E. Stratakis, J. Bonse, J. Heitz +12
The exciting properties of micro- and nano-patterned surfaces found in natural species hide a virtually endless potential of technological ideas, opening new opportunities for inno…
Polarization dependent spike formation on black silicon via ultrafast laser structuring
Evangelos Skoulas, Alexandros Mimidis, Ioanna Demeridou +2
A comparative experimental and theoretical investigation is presented that centres on the effects of structuring black silicon surfaces with linearly, circularly and azimuthally po…
Biomimetic Omnidirectional Anti-reflective Glass via Direct Ultrafast Laser Nanostructuring
Antonis Papadopoulos, Evangelos Skoulas, Alexandros Mimidis +4
We report on a single-step, biomimetic approach for the realization of omnidirectional transparent antireflective glass. In particular, it is shown that circularly polarized ultras…
