Research abstract
A parallel laser surface process is proposed with high pulse repetition rate high energy fs fiber laser. Our new approach will enable volume production for large surface materials (metals and glasses) to achieve super-hydrophobic and self-cleaning properties while maintaining low reflectivity. During Phase I, A series of experiment will be done and working prototypes will be delivered. In phase II, we will develop the process into a volume manufacturing capable of any types of shapes and materials (metals and glasses) and optimize the longevity of the treated surfaces for harsh environments.
