Self-organization of surfaces on the nanoscale by topography-mediated selection of quasi-cylindrical and plasmonic waves

Using coupled electromagnetic and hydrodynamic calculations, we elucidate theoretically the topographic transition from a random metallic surface to a periodic sub-wavelength grating by ultrashort laser ablation. The origin of this transition lies in the successive selection of hybrid surface waves...
