16. The wavelength of laser light in water is shortened from 800 to 600 nm because of the index of refraction of water.
17. 7 The ripple spacing is largely unaffected by the type of immersion liquid (water, oil, or alcohol).
18. The same two-step laser structuring process can be used to fabricate similar nanometer-scale rods on stainless steel and titanium immersed in a liquid.

30. To the naked eye, the resulting surfaces appear black. Optical characterization shows that in the wavelength range between 350 and 1000 nm, the absorptance of the silicon with the 120 nm ripples is about 80%, which is 20% higher than smooth silicon; while the absorptance of the nanorods forest is about 95%.
