- LIPSS formation on soda-lime-silicate glass is remarkably determined by melt formation in the entire investigated fluence range. Even at the lowest fluence, F = 3.3 J/cm2 (Figure 1g), HSFL are only barely visible. Although the SEM micrograph shows certain points with HSFL-like structures, their formation and appearance is difficult to verify. Moreover, due to melt formation the morphology of the homogenous LSFL pattern fabricated with F = 4.1 J/cm2 (Figure 1h) differs remarkably from LSFL on fused silica and borosilicate glass (Figure 1b,e) generated with the corresponding fluences required for LSFL formation (F > FthLSFL).

- At the highest value F = 14.6 J/cm2, the area where melt formation occurs is strongly increased on borosilicate glass (Figure 1f) when compared to fused silica and covers the total ablation spot for soda-lime-silicate glass (Figure 1i). In both cases, the surface of this centered area is very flat without any LIPSS-like surface modulation.
