Modern life and global communication would not be possible without technologically
tailored thin films; they are omnipresent in daily life applications. In most cases, the films are …

Laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) formation on the surface of mono-
crystalline silicon is reported for a specific fabrication regime of large-area structuring. Using …

Dental implant failure is primarily due to peri-implantitis, a consequence of bacterial
penetration causing implant loosening. Beyond supporting the implant, the adhesion of …

Ultrashort laser pulses confine material processing to the laser-irradiated area by
suppressing heat diffusion, resulting in precise ablation in diverse materials. However …

Direct laser writing of amorphous lines in crystalline silicon has the potential for becoming a
flexible alternative to silicon‐on‐insulator technology for photonic integrated circuits. Yet, the …

Pulsed laser crystallization is an efficient annealing technique to obtain polycrystalline
silicon or germanium films on non-refractory substrates. This is important for creating …

The surface of medical grade Ni (50.8 at.%) Ti is treated with pulsed femtosecond laser
radiation causing the formation of an amorphous layer< 200 nm thick. The chemical …

Using lasers to achieve controlled crystallographic phase changes in silicon with high
spatial precision promises new manufacturing solutions in semiconductor technologies …

An experimental and theoretical study of laser-induced damage and ablation of silicon by
two individual femtosecond pulses of different wavelengths, 1030 and 515 nm, is performed …

Modern science and technology have greatly benefitted from our ability to precisely
manipulate light waves, in both their spatial and temporal degrees of freedom. In the x-ray …
