Surface Plasmon Polariton Triggered Generation of 1D-Low Spatial Frequency LIPSS on Fused Silica
Source abstract
Abstract
We report on the generation of low spatial frequency laser-induced periodic surface structures along straight lines on fused silica by spatially scanning the laser parallel to its polarization direction. The influence of the applied laser fluence and the scanning speed on the periodic surface structures is investigated. The parameter study shows that periodic structures appear in a limited parameter regime of combined fluence and scan speed with periodicities smaller than the laser wavelength. Most strikingly, we observe a perpendicular orientation of the self-assembled periodic structures to the electrical field of the laser, notably a previously unreported result for this dielectric material. This behavior is explained taking into account calculations of surface plasmon polaritons including a Drude model for free carrier excitation within silica by femtosecond laser irradiation.
