Laser-surface interactions is a research domain focused on the fundamental physical, chemical, and structural phenomena induced in the near-surface region of materials exposed to laser radiation. It investigates the mechanisms by which laser energy is absorbed, transferred, and transforms the material surface, encompassing diverse interaction regimes from thermal processes with long pulses to highly nonlinear, non-thermal effects driven by ultrahigh intensity, ultrashort pulses, and explores their applications in surface modification, structuring, and property engineering.
