“An extended thin-film- plasmonic model considering transient changes ofthe dielectric permittivities along with the electromagnetic coupling at the two interfaces was presented by Derrien et al. [43]”

“The question if a spatial modulation of the absorbed optical energy can “survive” the electron–phonon relaxation processes was already addressed by Derrien et al. with a model considering the interference of the laser irradiation with an SEW propagating on the surface of fs-laser-excited silicon, the associated laser energy absorption and free carrier formation, and subsequent energy relaxation via electron–phonon coupling. [103]”

“Equation (1) does not answer the question, whether or not SPPs can be excited at the irradiated interface — a condition that is often ignored. For more details, the reader is referred to Raether [31] and Derrien et al. [32].”

“The resurgence of vinyl record production means that laser technology is becoming an alternative to the traditional production methods. Lasers have several advantages over using a cutting stylus; they do not blunt and do not create any resistance on the rotating disc. They can be coupled to CNC systems toprovide disc rotation and a transverse feed to produce the necessary spiral. There are a wide range of optical methods available to manipulate beams at high speed [9–12]; this means that potentially the data could be transcribed faster than real time.”

“The LIPSS pattern used in this study was optimized by varying the laser parameters on polished CoCrMo disks, employing the method proposed by Gnilitskyi et al. [22]. In particular, the LIPSS optimization process involved an analysis of SEM images and their regularity. […] All images used in the analysis had the same magnification [..]. […] the dispersion value of LIPSS orientation angle (DLOA). The samples with the lowest DLOA were highly-regular and therefore were selected to investigate […].

During ablation tests with 10 pulses per spot we have determined an average LIPSS spacing of ∼870 nm for the fundamental wavelength of 1030 nm of the laser system and of ∼370 nm for the second harmonic wavelength of 515 nm. Those values fit the description of LIPSS reported elsewhere in the literature, e. g. [31].

“Then, the ablated surfaces form a multilayer structure of water-silica-silicon. Multi-photon absorption occurs in the liquid, transforming it into a metallic state [40]. Therefore, SPPs can also be excited at the interface between water and silica, modulating the surface structures into Si-HSFLs [40].”

“The life time of an SPP typically ranges from sub-ps to several ps [76] depending on the materials and irradiation wavelength, and can be extended up to microseconds when using a thin film sandwiched by different media [77].”

“Furthermore, it was shown that [20], uniform FLIPSS are formed on metals with short surface plasmon polariton (SPP) propagation length, as we will discuss in detail later. […] It has been shown recently [20], that FLIPSSs uniformity is governed by the decay length of SPPs; shorter LSPP provide more uniform FLIPSSs. This conclusion is rational as shorter LSPP implies less interaction of the excited surface wave with surface irregularities. […]

“The results of Derrien et al. [30]  show that the SPPs can be excited by using a fs laser with 800 nm wavelength, 100 fs pulse duration, and laser fluences larger than 0.7 J∕cm2. A comparison of the calculated SPP periodicities and experimentally measured ripple periodicities confirms that the formation of periodic structures with a reduced number of laser pulses is due to the excitation of SPPs at the Si surface. […] In the case of laser processing in water [29], a reduced ablation threshold and LIPSS with approximately five times smaller periods Λ LIPSS ∼ 0.15 × λ have been observed in the same direction as in air. […] This behavior originates from the SPP excitation in the presence of a 10 – 20 nm thick silicon oxide layer and the optical excitation of water.
