Self-organized surface patterns originating from femtosec...
Zusammenfassung/English The phenomenon of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS), or ripples, generated by femtosecond laser pulses on various solid targets is considered in this dissertation. The experimental observations and an astounding similarity of the structures to other patterns originating from instabilities led to the idea to attribute the femtosecond laser nanostructuring to a self-organized pattern formation from laser-induced surface instability. ...
