TiO 2 film deposited on glass was irradiated in air with single-shot KrF excimer laser pulse. The surface roughened as the result of the laser ablation. It is further noted that single-pulse irradiation with fluence ranging from 400 to 1200 mJ/cm2 gave rise to protrusion of the irradiated surface above the original surface, which is in contrast to usual expectation that irradiated surface is below the unirradiated surface. The surface protrusion is mainly attributed to the effect of surface tension. At the laser fluence of 1000 mJ/cm2, cracks were formed in the irradiated area and severe film exfoliation was observed at the periphery of the irradiated area due to the release of internal stress. With higher laser fluence above 1000 mJ/cm2, patches of film were observed to peel off within the irradiated areas. Hydrodynamic ablation is proposed to account for film exfoliation. The observed phenomenon is useful for further understanding how TiO 2 film reacts to strong UV laser irradiation.

The paper presents the results of writing of type I and high-performance type II fiber Bragg gratings in birefringent optical fiber with an elliptical stress cladding by a single 20 ns pulse of KrF excimer laser (248 nm). The gratings’ efficiency produced by a single pulse was up to 100%. Experimental results on visualization of these gratings are presented.

AbstractRecently, we reported conditions for controllable, direct laser fabrication of sharp conical tips with heights of about one micrometer and apical radii of curvature of several tens of nanometers. An individual cone is formed when a single-crystal silicon film on an insulator substrate is irradiated in air environment with a single pulse from a KrF excimer laser, homogenized and shaped to a circular spot several microns in diameter. In this work, we present a study of the formation of such tips as a function of the laser fluence, the film thickness, and the diameter of the irradiated spot. Atomic force microscopy and scanning electron microscopy were used to study the topography of the structures. A simple mechanism of formation based on movement of melted material is proposed. We have also studied structures (nano-ridges) that resulted from irradiation with narrow lines (width of several microns) instead of circular spots.

The surface properties of collagen and collagen/poly(vinyl pyrrolidone) (PVP) films after KrF excimer laser irradiation (λ=248nm) were investigated by means of the technique of scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy (OM). The laser irradiation of the used specimens caused an expansion of materials above their surface with pronounced sings of its melting. The height of the ablated volume in a case of collagen film at a fluence of1.1J/cm2was approximately 5μm. A white damage appears on the treated surfaces at a threshold of0.5J/cm2with a single pulse and becomes more visible for a higher fluence. It is also noteworthy that along with increasing fluences (beginning from the fluence of1.7J/cm2), the characteristic filaments at the spot edges are observed. The local heat and pressure generated by the laser radiation were able to induce bubble formation on the surface. Further bubble colliding and bursting produce a three-dimensional polymer “microfoam” structure with interconnected pores. These results can be of interest for some new applications.
