The exciting properties of micro-and nano-patterned surfaces found in natural species hide
a virtually endless potential of technological ideas, opening new opportunities for innovation …

Laser processing implies the generation of a material function defined by the shape and the
size of the induced structures, being a collective effect of topography, morphology, and …

Vector vortex beams have attracted considerable research attention owing to their unique
optical properties, and have been explored in vortex filtering, photon entanglement, and the …

Polarization and geometric phase shaping via a space-variant anisotropy has attracted
considerable interest for fabrication of flat optical elements and generation of vector beams …

Non‐Gaussian beam profiles such as Bessel or annular beams enable novel approaches to
modifying materials through laser‐based processing. In this review paper, properties …

The presented review summarizes nearly two decades of studies on femtosecond laser-
induced breakdown spectrometry (fs-LIBS). When an ultra-short (< 1 ps) laser pulse is used …

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

We demonstrate recording and retrieval of the digital document with a nearly unlimited
lifetime. The recording process of multiplexed digital data was implemented by femtosecond …

Ripples are formed on the surface of solid materials after interaction with laser pulses of high
intensity/irradiance. When ultra-short sub-1 ps laser pulses are used, the observed …

Periodic self-organization of matter beyond the diffraction limit is a puzzling phenomenon,
typical both for surface and bulk ultrashort laser processing. Here we compare the …
