Tuning optical response and wettability of aluminum surfaces via polarization-controlled femtosecond laser texturing

Femtosecond laser texturing offers a contactless route to tailor the optical and wetting properties of metallic surfaces. Here, we investigate the effect of laser polarization on commercial mirror-finished Al 5005-H34 by comparing linear and circular polarization under matched fl...
