Abstract
High repetition rate femtosecond lasers are commonly used for fabricating laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) over large areas at high processing speeds. Industrially relevant metals, like steel, experience thermal modifications at repetition rates beyond several hundred kilohertz. In this work, we fabricate low spatial frequency LIPSS (LSFL) on steel, varying pulse repetition rates from 10 kHz to 2 MHz. The study characterizes laser-structured areas and redeposited debris using SEM and μ-Raman spectroscopy. A simple heat dissipation model identifies repetition rate ranges associated with thermal modifications. Morphological changes and debris impact functional wetting behavior, offering insights for optimizing parameters in high repetition rate femtosecond laser materials processing.
