“…Micro-/nanostructure manufacturing technology, as an emerging surface engineering method, has begun to show its potential in multiple fields, including aerospace, military equipment, microelectronics, medical devices, biomaterials, and energy. 1 Research shows that there is a close correlation between the functionalization of a surface and its structural and chemical properties, so that changing the structure of a surface can significantly enhance, adjust, or even completely change its properties. Conspicuously bioinspired antireflective surfaces with micro-/nanostructures can enhance the absorption of broadband spectra of solar radiation, making them highly promising for a wide range of applications.…”

The research and applications in the field of micro/nano surface manufacturing are progressively shifting their focus toward multifunctional surfaces. In practical applications, objects often need to operate under demanding environmental conditions, and single-function surfaces have inherent limitations in terms of performance, adaptability, and longevity. In this paper, a micro-/nanolayered structural strategy with dual functions of ultrahigh antireflective properties and superhydrophobicity was created on the surface of titanium alloy by using nanosecond pulsed laser processing, and two structural modes of periodic honeycomb and lattice with controllable shapes were designed. In addition, the morphology and formation mechanism of multilevel micro-/nanostructures were investigated in depth, combining laser texturization and silanization of substrate microstructures. The effects of the micro-/nanostructured morphology on the reflection and wettability properties were evaluated with different pulse widths and lateral overlap index. This study also demonstrated that water droplets exhibit excellent bouncing and rolling behavior on superhydrophobic surfaces, further verifying the excellent hydrophobic properties of the prepared samples. Furthermore, in addressing the challenges of susceptibility to dust contamination and performance degradation in extreme environments associated with antireflective surfaces, a series of durability and mechanical stability tests were conducted on controllability periodic micro-/nanostructured surfaces. Successfully meeting this challenge will open up great potential and opportunities for significant improvements in equipment performance and stable operation under extreme operating conditions.

“…With the rapid development of ultrafast laser systems, femtosecond (10 −15 s) laser direct writing (FsLDW) technique has arisen as an attractive and promising manufacturing tool for the fabrication of smart and multifunctional stimulus-responsive structures owing to its distinct benefits of high spatial precision and accuracy, simplicity, surface and volume machining capability, maskfree processing, true 3D manufacturing capability, and wide applicability to almost all materials. The ultrashort pulse duration and immensely high peak intensity of femtosecond laser bring unprecedented physical conditions for modern extreme manufacturing and scientific experimental research [42][43][44][45][46][47][48]. FsLDW technology can promote the flexible and efficient manufacturing of well-designed structures with on-demand stimulus-responsive behaviors, thus further facilitating current tendencies of miniaturization, functionalization, integration, and ultimate practical application of these intelligent structures in diverse fields such as microfluidics [49][50][51], optics [52][53][54], robotics [55], and biomedical engineering [10,56,57].…”

Diverse natural organisms possess stimulus-responsive structures to adapt to the surrounding environment. Inspired by nature, researchers have developed various smart stimulus-responsive structures with adjustable properties and functions to address the demands of ever-changing application environments that are becoming more intricate. Among many fabrication methods for stimulus-responsive structures, femtosecond laser direct writing (FsLDW) has received increasing attention because of its high precision, simplicity, true three-dimensional machining ability, and wide applicability to almost all materials. This paper systematically outlines state-of-the-art research on stimulus-responsive structures prepared by FsLDW. Based on the introduction of femtosecond laser-matter interaction and mainstream FsLDW-based manufacturing strategies, different stimulating factors that can trigger structural responses of prepared intelligent structures, such as magnetic field, light, temperature, pH, and humidity, are emphatically summarized. Various applications of functional structures with stimuli-responsive dynamic behaviors fabricated by FsLDW, as well as the present obstacles and forthcoming development opportunities, are discussed.

In this work, we have experimentally demonstrated the ultrafast laser in Erbium-doped fiber laser using MoS2 as saturable absorber. The MoS2 SA in this work is prepared by bottom-up method. A three-electrode configuration is used to perform the electrodeposition to coat the MoS2 onto conductive film. The MoS2 saturable absorber is incorporated into the fiber laser system to induce mode-locking operation centered at 1560.8 nm. The proposed saturable absorber has achieved pulse width of 1.47 ps, with highest average pulse energy of 0.44 nJ and repetition rate of 1.88 MHz. The venture of electrodeposition coated MoS2 thin film as saturable absorber is potentially to pave the foundation toward the sustainable industry, innovation and infrastructure.
