Area of Science:

  • Materials Science
  • Optics
  • Surface Engineering

Background:

  • Glasses possess valuable properties for industries like microelectronics and biomedicine.
  • Surface functionalization via nano/micropatterning can enhance glass performance.
  • Laser structuring of transparent materials with visible light, especially for sub-10 µm features, remains challenging.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate direct laser patterning of transparent soda lime glass using visible ps-pulsed laser radiation.
  • To achieve sub-10 µm feature sizes and explore the resulting surface properties.

Main Methods:

  • Utilized interference-based optical setups for direct glass patterning.
  • Employed picosecond (ps)-pulsed laser radiation in the visible spectrum.
  • Investigated non-linear absorption mechanisms for transparent material processing.

Main Results:

  • Successfully fabricated line- and dot-like micro-patterns with spatial periods from 2.3 to 9.0 µm.
  • Observed laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) with feature sizes around 300 nm within microstructures.
  • Achieved significantly enhanced surface properties, including super-hydrophilicity.
  • Demonstrated that micropatterns function as relief diffraction gratings with efficiencies exceeding 30%.

Conclusions:

  • Direct laser structuring of transparent glass with visible ps-pulsed lasers is feasible for creating sub-10 µm features.
  • The developed method effectively modifies glass surface properties, inducing super-hydrophilicity and diffraction capabilities.
  • Optimized process parameters yield high-quality, functionalized glass surfaces for advanced applications.
