Abstract

Excitation of surface waves by a moving laser beam has been studied both theoretically and experimentally. Using periodic surface structures as an example, it is demonstrated that the type of excited wave and the rate of its growth depend resonantly on the beam velocity. Experimental data show that resonant excitation of different periodic surface structures can change the spatial distribution of the absorbed laser energy.<>
