Abstract:Ripple formation in consequence of ultrashort laser pulse irradiation of materials is a well-known phenomenon. We have investigated the formation of ripples in various metals, i.e. steel, tungsten carbide hard metal, as well as in superhard ta-C films, where we used femtosecond laser pulses of 775 nm and 387 nm mean wavelength and 150 fs pulse duration. The aim was to investigate how the ripple parameters depend on irradiation parameters, and if such ripples have a potentiality for applications. In the paper, we will show that on smooth surfaces the ripple orientation is perpendicular to the electric field vector of the linearly polarized laser beam, as is well-known. Moreover, it will be shown that the ripple period decreases with decreasing laser wavelength and/or increasing angle of incidence of the laser beam on the substrate. By using optimum parameters large areas of the materials and films can be rippled swiftly, which would be important for applications. For instance, the improvement of frictional and wear behavior of tribologically stressed surfaces by ripples was investigated on ta-C coated steel surfaces.
