Abstract: Poly(urethane-imide) (PUI) greatly absorbs the visible light of 532 nm because it contains azobenzene side groups. For the first time, laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) were generated on PUI films with a linearly polarized laser of 532 nm, the second harmonic generation of an Nd∶YAG laser. The absorption of the molecular chain was necessary to form LIPSS and the increase of the content of the azobenzene side groups accelerated the appearance of LIPSS. The direction of LIPSS was parallel to the polarization direction of the laser beam and the periodicity was near the wavelength used. The influence of the laser parameters, including the incidence angle, the number of laser pulse and the length of laser pulse on the configuration and the periodicity of LIPSS was studied. The obtained surface pattern was observed by atomic force microscope.
