Abstract
Laser-induced periodic structure on solid surfaces can be understood as a universal phenomenon which occurs for a broad range of wavelengths and different laser polarization states in both polariton-active and -inactive media. Circularly polarized light has been used, for the first time, to generate periodic structures; these show an interesting dependence on the sense of rotation.Keywords
