Abstract
A new kind of surface structure was observed on polyethylene-terephtha late (PET) foils after 248 nm KrF-excimer-laser irradiation in vacuum. The laser fluences employed were around the ablation threshold. The b ranched fractal structures observed have a lateral dimension in the mi crometer range and a heigth of 30 to 60 nm.
