Abstract
Riblets manufacturing allow the reduction of flight consumption of 2 to 3% but requires both high precision in texturing and high processing speed to engrave large surfaces. An innovative combination of high-speed (100 kHz) and high energy (3 mJ) femtosecond laser with a beam division up to 9 spots, and a square shaping of the spots is presented using multi plane light conversion (MPLC) beam shaping technique for both the beam division and the square beam forming, with homogeneity of spots better than 95%. Texturing tests will be presented and compared to achievements using non shaped Gaussian laser beams.
