Abstract
We report on the fabrication of surface nanoparticles and micro/nanograting structures on bulk pure aluminum in air using a 150 fs, 775 nm femtosecond laser. We investigate the size of the generated surface nanoparticles under irradiation with different femtosecond laser pulses. Smaller nanoparticles can be induced by a larger number of laser pulses and a lower laser fluence. In addition, we observe the formation of micro/nanogratings when the laser focus is scanned across a pure aluminum surface in air. We obtain micro- and nano-grating composite structures on a pure aluminum surface by adjusting the laser fluence and scan velocity. Femtosecond laser surface ablation of bulk pure aluminum in air is potentially a promising technique for efficient fabrication of surface nanostructures.
