研究目的
Investigating the formation of hexagonal microarrays of nanoholes (metasurfaces) in a thin film of hydrogenated amorphous silicon by three-beam interference of femtosecond laser pulses and studying the optical and structural processes involved.
研究成果
The study successfully demonstrated the formation of hexagonal arrays of nanoholes in amorphous silicon films using three-beam interference of femtosecond laser pulses. Optimal recording conditions were identified at intermediate exposures, with degradation of optical and structural characteristics observed at excessive exposures. The findings contribute to the understanding of femtosecond laser fabrication of metasurfaces and highlight the importance of controlling exposure levels to achieve desired structural and optical properties.
研究不足
The study notes the challenges of undesirable structural modifications, such as crystallization, and subablative destruction of the films under multipulse action. The stability of the interference pattern and the quality of the nanohole arrays are affected by the exposure level, with degradation observed at high exposures.
