The nanograting inscription on the surface of a fused silica substrate is systematically investigated on a shot-to-shot basis. Three different evolutionary processes are observed with pulse fluence ranging from slightly below to well above the single shot ablation threshold. This dependence is explained by the interplay between local intensity distribution and incubation effect.
