A superhydrophilic surface was initially fabricated on the stainless steel disc by laser marker ablation allowing 1 μL droplet to spread completely to 0° within 0.12 s, followed by fluorine-containing coating transforming superhydrophilic surface to superhydrophobic one.

Herein, a multi-physics coupling model is established to investigate the interaction between CO<sub>2</sub> lasers and micro-pillars on the fused silica surface, and is verified from the perspectives of temporal and spatial temperature. The steady surface temperature evolution law with laser power and spot radius is explored, based on which, the parameter ‘Window’ for polishing is determined to make the material melt and flow without ablation removal. The morphology evolution of micro-pillars is investigated as well as laser-material interaction. It is found that under laser irradiation, the micro-pillar height first increases and then decreases, and its top curvature radius increases. The surface tension makes the dominant contributions to the melting and flow of the micro-pillar materials, while the Marangoni effect and the gravity have little effect. Furthermore, to fabricate the target MLAs with the specific dimensions, the influence of micro-pillar aspect ratio (<em>φ</em>) on microlens surface morphology is investigated.
