Abstract:In this article, the impact of the excited electromagnetic surface modes in a comprehensive investigation of the formation of laser‐induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) is analyzed. It is demonstrated that the electromagnetic origin of low spatial‐frequency LIPSS (LSFL) is the frequency detuning between propagating and localized modes due to their coupling/hybridization. The influence of the pattern profile, inhomogeneity, and material type on the coupling strength, electric‐field spatial distribution, … Show more
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
