Fabrication of highly uniform laser-induced periodic structures on polycarbonate via UV femtosecond pulses
Matina Vlahou, Nektaria Protopapa, Stella Maragkaki +2
In this work, we focus on the fabrication of highly uniform laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) on bulk polycarbonate (PC) using 258 nm femtosecond laser pulses. A sy…
