| Abstract: | We describe the formation of LIPSS by fs laser irradiation on polished titanium or steel samples, from which polymer replicas can be produced. The irradiation of inclined samples allows a variation in the periodicity of the LIPSS in a range between about 500 and 1000 nm, depending on the angle of incidence and the orientation of the laser polarization relative to the plane of incidence, either parallel (p-polarization) or perpendicular (s-polarization). For p-polarization, a second larger-size LIPSS feature with periodicities between about 1300 and 2200 nm is observed at medium angles. LIPSS lines are oriented perpendicular to the light polarization, except for s-polarization on steel samples, where a rotation of up to 35° is observed. In a two-step process, the LIPSS are replicated in polymers. We investigate the attachment of Schwann cells and fibroblasts seeded thereon, which show no direct dependence on the variation in the LIPSS periodicities. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
