Applications :
marking
Color separation through diffraction grating

Absolute black
Light trap generated by micrometric surface profiles

Applications:
fonctionalised surfaces
Hydrophobia
- The lotus flower as a model for hydrophobic/ self-cleaning surfaces
- Multi-scale structuration: micrometric studs and nanometric surfacing

Hydro / Aerodynamism
- Shark skin as a model for the improvement of nautic performances
- Anti-fouling function through microstructuration

Bio-fonctionnalisation
- Modification of cells migration / shape/ trajectory.
- Migration of mesenchymal stem cells on a ti64al4v sample surface.

Cellular adherence
- Improved bio-compatibility on dental and bone implants
- Combination of micrometric and nanometric structuation to obtain the required cell adherence

Tribologie - Friction
- Friction reduction through micro-drilling
- Engine consumption reductionI
- Increased lifespan

Tribologie - Mechanical performance
- Shock peening to improve mechanical performances: hardness, avoidance of cracks, etc.
- Spallation and surface irregularities generated by the laser impact
