Evolution of microstructures on stainless steel induced by ultra-short pulsed laser ablation
摘要： Ultra-short pulsed laser ablation of stainless steel is accompanied by the evolution of different microstructures. Depending on the fluence, accumulated energy and number of laser passes cones from impurities, laser induced periodic surface structures, cone-like protrusion (CLP), and thermal bumps evolve at the surface. These often unwanted morphologies can be induced or inhibited by carefully choosing the strategy and laser parameters. The investigated range reveals a small processing window for defined 515 nm sub 1 ps ablation leading to low surface roughness using circular polarization. Hitherto, the origin and dependencies of CLP are still not well understood and for the first time a precursor ripple structure reported. These precursor ripples reveal supra-wavelength periodicity with about 2 μm spacing and evolve earliest after the second layer of ablation. Potentially, low spatial frequency laser-induced periodic surface structure generated with the first laser pass with pulse and hatch overlap are the root cause of CLP evolution. Moreover, the CLP growth is grain orientation and strongly polarization state dependent. Preferentially, CLP start to evolve at the {110} planes of the face-centered cubic crystals of the inspected austenitic stainless steel and linear polarized laser radiation revealing a 1:1 aspect ratio of 10 μm. A nanoindentation study at the interface near region on cross-sections reveals robust mechanical properties of this CLP structure.

[Laser Institute of America ICALEO? 2017: 36th International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Atlanta, Georgia, USA (October 22–26, 2017)] International Congress on Applications of Lasers & Electro-Optics - Adaptive optics for intra-volume engraving of glass with ultra-short laser pulses
摘要： Within the frame of high precision ultrafast laser processing of transparent materials, we report here on the use of adaptive optics as a tool for intra-volume laser engraving of glass. With the active monitoring of the laser beam wavefront, the repartition of the above-threshold energy in the focal volume is actively detected. Therefore, the elongation of the laser-induced modification due to longitudinal spherical aberration can be minimized or emphasized on demand. Indeed, the industrial adaptive optics set up, made of a wavefront sensor and a deformable mirror, permits the management of each wavefront aberration as RMS values of chosen Zernike polynomials coefficients. This technique allows the control of the processing of transparent dielectrics, whatever the index of refraction and the depth are. This study addresses the precise correlation between wavefront distortions and intra-volume modifications in borosilicate glass obtained with a 300 fs Yb-doped fiber laser running at 1030 nm. The effects of the 3rd and 5th orders of longitudinal spherical aberrations on the laser-induced marking of the bulk are investigated with the purpose of precisely controlling the length of the interaction volume in the illuminated dielectric material. We show here a minimization of the total length of the marking by 65% at 600 μm in depth, from the natural wavefront to the optimized one, close to the diffraction limit.
