Printing stable color with a lithography-free and environment-friendly technique is in high demand for applications. We report a facile strategy of ultrafast laser direct writing (ULDW) to produce large-scale embedded structural colors inside transparent solids. The diffraction effect of gratings enables effective generation of structural colors across the entire visible spectrum. The structural colors inside the fused silica glass have been demonstrated to exhibit excellent thermal stability under high temperature up to 1200°C, which promises that the written information can be stable for long time even with unlimited lifetime at room temperature. The structural colors in the applications of coloring, anti-counterfeiting, and information storage are also demonstrated. Our studies indicate that the presented ULDW allows for fabricating large-scale and high thermal-stability structural colors with prospects of three-dimensional patterning, which will find various applications, especially under harsh conditions such as high temperature.

时空干涉的飞秒激光空间整形技术是一种新型图形化激光加工方法,相比传统技术更加简单灵活并有更高的效率。然而此技术中的缩束系统造成的成像畸变严重影响了加工的准确性。本文模拟并分析了该系统中的畸变现象,利用空间光调制器的相位全息图补偿畸变引起的空间光场的位置变化和光强分布不均。此方法可使曝光处干涉图案的最大偏移量由10.66 μm趋近于0,在实验中将相对最大偏差由60.42%降至8%以下,并使该处二维光强分布趋近于平顶光。该算法降低了时空干涉的飞秒激光空间整形技术对于缩束成像系统的设计需求,节省了成本与时间。基于以上方法,在不锈钢表面拼接加工出了1.5 mm×1.5 mm的具备多级别防伪能力的二维码图案。

Inhomogeneity and low efficiency are two important factors that hinder the wide application of laser-induced periodic surface structures. Two-beam interference is commonly used to fabricate gratings with interference periods. This study reports regular and uniform periodic ripples fabricated efficiently by the interference of two femtosecond laser beams via a cylindrical lens. The interference period is adjusted to be an integer multiple of the wavelength of a surface plasmon polariton. Regular and uniform subwavelength nanogratings (RUSNGs) on a silicon wafer of a diameter of 100 mm are fabricated with a scanning velocity of 6–9 mm/s. Bright and pure colors (including purple, blue, and red) are demonstrated on different patterns covered with RUSNGs.

利用波长为532 nm、脉宽为90 ns的纳秒激光器,精密五轴运动系统,以及自主研发的计算机辅助制造程序,通过精确控制机械运动和激光辐照参数,在平面和自由曲面上制备了周期性亚波长条纹。研究了不同激光能流密度和扫描速率对条纹形成的影响,发现能流密度F=7.52 J/cm 2和扫描速率v=7 mm/s时,形成最佳条纹。结合激光偏振控制器件,发展了一种同步偏振控制技术,实现对激光偏振方向的同步控制,从而实现对条纹方向的精确操控。同时研究了不同的条纹方向对着色效果的影响。在此基础上,在不锈钢平板上制备了颜色鲜艳、外轮廓清晰的彩色图案,进一步实现了曲面上复杂图案的制备。

This Letter reports the formation of periodic surface structures on Ni–Fe film irradiated by a single femtosecond laser pulse. A concave lens with a focus length of 150 mm is placed in front of an objective (100×, NA=0.9), which transforms the Gaussian laser field into a ring distribution by the Fresnel diffraction. Periodic ripples form on the ablation area after the irradiation of a single femtosecond laser pulse, which depends on the laser polarization and laser fluence. We propose that the ring structure of the laser field leads to a similar transient distribution of the permittivity on the sample surface, which further launches the surface plasmon polaritons. The interaction of the incident laser with surface plasmon polaritons dominates the formation of periodic surface structures.
