Bioinspired superhydrophobic surfaces are an artificial functional surface that mainly extracts morphological designs from natural organisms. In both laboratory research and industry, there is a need to develop ways of giving large-area surfaces water repellence. Currently, surface modification methods are subject to many challenging requirements such as a need for chemical-free treatment or high surface roughness.

- The text discusses a new method called UV-IR femtosecond laser hybrid lithography for efficiently creating complex waveguides on microchips, which enhances both processing efficiency and accuracy.
- This technology allows for the quick fabrication of intricate cross-sectional shapes, like those resembling owls and kittens, with a significant efficiency improvement of 1500% for specific sizes.
- The method also enables the customization of waveguides with low birefringence and complex random walk networks, supporting the design of highly tailored large-scale optical chips without the need for traditional masks.
Periodical structures induced by pulsed lasers are a unique phenomenon when pulsed lasers irradiate on some material surfaces. These periodical structures with a subwavelength-scale period hold potential in integrated-optics and biomimetic micro-nanodevices for their direct shaping by laser pulses. However, the blurred nature of the laser-induced structuring hinders its further exploration in these application scopes.
