Ultrashort-pulse laser processing in air is employed to engrave micro- and nanostructures on copper surfaces aiming to reduce secondary electron emission. Parameters such as the laser power and scanning speed are varied to investigate their influence on the resulting structures. The morphology, as well as the chemical composition of the laser-treated surfaces, are analyzed by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS), respectively. At low power and high scanning speed, only slight changes to the surface topography occur, whereas compact, cauliflower-like nanostructures and micrometer deep trenches are generated at high power and low scanning speed. The higher the accumulated laser fluence, the more material is ablated and the more oxidized particles are redeposited. A clear correlation exists between the accumulated fluence for processing with 355, 532 and 1064 nm photons, and the resulting secondary electron yield of the surface. Its maximum can be reduced from 2.2 to 0.7. Mastering these dependencies helps to develop a system that enables laser processing of beam pipes of selected magnets in the Large Hadron Collider.
