The patterns are accompanied by resolidified sub-microspheres and non-aligned grating lamellae. We observe that such dynamic behavior exhibits a striking similarity with the fluctuating content of a queuing system which alternate between random busy and idle periodsfemto-laser - self-organized patternsTransition and self-healing process between chaotic and self-organized patterns observed during femtosecond laser writingtext::journal::journal article::research article
