Thirty years ago, Coullet et al. proposed that a special optical field exists in laser cavities
bearing some analogy with the superfluid vortex. Since then, optical vortices have been …

Over the past two decades, femtosecond laser-induced periodic structures (femtosecond-
LIPSs) have become ubiquitous in a variety of materials, including metals, semiconductors …

Nature developed numerous solutions to solve various technical problems related to
material surfaces by combining the physico-chemical properties of a material with …

We report on a new, single-step and scalable method to fabricate highly ordered, multi-
directional and complex surface structures that mimic the unique morphological features of …

Existing for almost four decades, liquid crystal on Silicon (LCOS) technology is rapidly
growing into photonic applications. We review the basics of the technology, from the wafer to …

Creation of patterns and structures on surfaces at the micro-and nano-scale is a field of
growing interest. Direct femtosecond laser surface structuring with a Gaussian-like beam …

Structured light in the short-wavelength regime opens exciting avenues for the study of
ultrafast spin and electronic dynamics. Here, we demonstrate theoretically and …

We report the femtosecond (fs) laser fabrication of biomimetic omnidirectional iridescent
metallic surfaces exhibiting efficient diffraction for practically any angle of light incidence …

The formation of laser induced periodic surface structures (LIPPS) was investigated on
polished stainless steel surfaces under irradiation with fs-laser pulses characterised by a …

The effects of laser texturing on the corrosion and wettability of AA2024-T3 using an IR Nd:
Vanadate picosecond (ps) laser was studied. Three types of texture patterns were …
