• determined at room temperature, which might not be appropriate for metals heated with intense femtosecond laser pulses. The LIPSS period becomes smaller when the stainless steel surface is rougher as the roughness increases the real part of the refractive index at the metal–air interface [61]. Variation of

• ablation at all wavelengths. This slight variation in elements between the laser-treated and untreated samples can be attributed to the highly intense femtosecond laser and its interaction with matter and the fact that these low-atomic-weight species could have escaped from the system. Conclusion For the

An increase of the laser-absorption efficiency can be expected in plasmonic nanoparticles, which results in the efficient generation of highly ionized charge states [13][14]. It is expected that this characteristic interaction between intense femtosecond
