Abstract
In this contribution, the feasibility of tailoring the radiative properties of stainless steel via Direct Laser Interference Patterning (DLIP) is introduced. By fabricating periodic micro- and nano-structures, emissivity is enhanced and made directionally dependent, as evidenced by direct spectral measurements and supported by Rigorous Coupled-Wave Analysis (RCWA) simulations. The experimental findings reveal that the modified surface acts as a spectrally selective emitter with a strong dependence on the emission direction, which is in good overall agreement with the predictions made by Maxwell’s equations. These results show DLIP’s potential for high-throughput, mask-free surface modification, with significant implications for fine-tuning of thermal management, radiative cooling, and related photonic applications.
