Periodic structuring of metallic surfaces using picosecond laser systems

The laser has gained significant attention in the field of surface texturing due to its numerous benefits over competing processes. A peculiar effect of the laser observed when processing under specific circumstances close to the material ablation threshold is self aligning ripple-like structures, k...
