Abstract

We find the femtosecond laser induced microripple beside the focused femtosecond laser spot and along the movement direction of the laser spot on polydimethylsiloxane (PDMS) surface. The microripple may be due to the melting of PDMS induced by femtosecond laser pulses and the subsequent cool-down solidification of the melting PDMS along with the movement of the femtosecond laser spot. This result will be helpful to understand the interaction between the femtosecond laser and the polymer.
