copper and aluminum. We show significant color saturation of up to~ 69% and an increase
in the lightness range by up to~ 60% with the use of multi-burst picosecond pulses. Finite-
difference time-domain (FDTD) simulations show that high-spatial frequency LIPSS (HSFL)
are responsible for the improvements. In addition, we show the passivation and tuning of the
colors with the thickness of alumina deposited by atomic layer deposition.
