Progress in Nonlinear Nano-Optics

Abstract

Periodic structures self-organized on metals irradiated by femtosecond laser pulses were carefully observed, and the spacing of the periodic grating structure is analyzed to determine its dependence on laser fluence. The spacing λ S is found to be universally 0.5λ L < λ S < 0.85λ L for laser wavelength λ L. Under the hypothesis that the periodic structure corresponds to a surface plasma wave induced by a femtosecond laser pulse, the grating spacing is scaled and formulated in terms of laser fluence so that a simple formula will be available for future study of laser-induced periodic surface structures.
