Simultaneous Manipulation of the Optical and Wettability Properties of Metal Surfaces Using 150 kHz Femtosecond Fiber Laser

We demonstrate the formation of permanent and iridescent colors on aluminum, copper, steel, and brass surfaces using femtosecond laser-induced periodic and non-periodic nanostructuring. We show that both the permanent and iridescent colors of the metal surfaces can be erased and re-colored using a s...
