This paper reviews a new field of direct femtosecond laser surface nano/microstructuring
and its applications. Over the past few years, direct femtosecond laser surface processing …

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 …

Donut-shaped laser radiation, carrying orbital angular momentum, namely optical vortex,
was recently shown to provide vectorial mass transfer, twisting transiently molten material …

We develop a facile and effective strategy to prepare monodispersed Au spherical
nanoparticles by two steps. Large-scale monocrystalline Au nanooctahedra with uniform …

Metal nanostructures are, nowadays, extensively used in applications such as catalysis,
electronics, sensing, optoelectronics and others. These applications require the possibility to …

The removal of thin films widely used in photovoltaics (amorphous silicon, tin oxide, zinc
oxide, aluminum, and molybdenum) is studied experimentally using multi-kHz Q-switched …

This work presents time-resolved images of femtosecond-laser-induced melt dynamics in 60
nm gold films on glass substrates. Melt dynamics induced by laser radiation with focus …

An experimental study of femtosecond laser-induced jet formation and droplet ejection from
thin metal films is presented. These processes are compared to liquid jet formation during …

Luminescent security labels are effective platforms for protection of consumer goods from
counterfeiting. However, the lifetimes of such security approaches are limited due to narrow …

Novel experimental data on microstructuring of thin (60 nm) gold films by femtosecond laser
pulses are presented and discussed. Material modifications are induced by different laser …
