Abstract
Ultrafast higher-order Bessel beams have diverse applications, including creating high aspect ratio nanovoids and efficient glass cutting. This study introduces a novel method using higher-order Bessel beams to generate high-aspect ratio nanostructures vertically standing on sapphire with a single ultrafast laser pulse. The elongated nano-pillars exceed 15 μm in height and possess a sub-micrometer diameter. We propose a mechanism that explains the different generation regimes. Depending on deposited energy density, either material translation or hydrodynamics occur and produce different morphologies. Our conclusions are supported by transmission electron microscopy. This approach, applicable to various transparent materials, stands out for its simplicity and deepens understanding of ultrafast laser-material interactions, holding potential for advanced material processing.
