Abstract
Inhomogeneity and low efficiency are two important factors that limit the application of laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSSs), especially on glass surfaces. In this study, two-beam interference (TBI) of femtosecond lasers was used to produce large-area straight LIPSSs on fused silica using cylindrical lenses. Compared with those produced using a single circular or cylindrical lens, the LIPSSs produced by TBI are much straighter and more regular.
Depending on the laser fluence and scanning velocity, LIPSSs with grating-like or spaced LIPSSs are produced on the fused silica surface. Their structural colors are blue, green, and red, and only green and red, respectively. Grating-like LIPSS patterns oriented in different directions are obtained and exhibit bright and vivid colors, indicating potential applications in surface coloring and anti-counterfeiting logos.
