ABSTRACT Laser ablation (LA), which employs a pulsed laser to remove materials from a substrate for generating micro‐/nanostructures, has tremendous applications in the fabrication of metals, ceramics, glasses and polymers. It has become a noteworthy approach for achieving various functional structu...
