<jats:p>Ablation of solid surfaces irradiated with superimposed multiple shots of low fluence femtosecond (fs) laser pulses often results in the formation of periodic nanostructures on the target surface. We demonstrate that the self-organization process of nanostructuring can be regulated to fabricate a homogeneous nanograting on the target surface in air. A simple two-step ablation process was used to control the nanoscale energy deposition that should be developed through the excitation of surface plasmon polaritons (SPPs) during the fs laser-surface interaction. The results obtained for crystalline gallium nitride represent exactly the nature of a single spatial standing wave mode of SPPs of which periodically enhanced near-fields ablate the target surface to form the nanograting with a period of ∼200 nm. The calculated results for a model target reproduce well the observed nanograting period and explain the origin of its characteristic properties.</jats:p>
