“…Fiber femtosecond laser have pulse durations of 50–500 fs while dye lasers have pulse durations of ∼10 fs but are rarely used. Laser texturing methods can be used for the patterning of various material substrates such as metals (steel, 105,106 iron, 107 titanium, 108 nickel, 88 cast iron 96 ), metals alloys (copper-based alloys such as lead, tin, aluminum, bronzes, 88 steel alloys; 85 nickel 105 ), silicon nitride, 17,95 silicium carbide 9,109 coated metal surfaces, biocompatible materials (some thermoplastic and aromatic polymers, borosilicate glass, and silicate glass 101 ), and polymers.…”
