Laser Ablation Important for materials processing Important for materials processing Many permutations of beam parameters; many materials Many permutations of beam parameters; many materials Ultrashort pulses (fs-ps) interact fundamentally different than longer pulses Ultrashort pulses (fs-ps) interact fundamentally different than longer pulses

Importance in Our Machining Experiment This discussion about one ultrashort pulse This discussion about one ultrashort pulse Our experiment deals with a train of ultrashort pulses Our experiment deals with a train of ultrashort pulses Important to extend this knowledge to our regime Important to extend this knowledge to our regime

Breakdown Threshold & Plasma Previous experiments noticed there existed a threshold “breakdown” intensity of each material Previous experiments noticed there existed a threshold “breakdown” intensity of each material Measured with similar setup, looking at reflectivity change of plasma Measured with similar setup, looking at reflectivity change of plasma Ablation experiment made sure breakdown not reached (no plasma) Ablation experiment made sure breakdown not reached (no plasma) [6] D. von der Linde, H. Schuler, J. Opt. Soc. Am. B 13 (1996) 216

Physical Processes 1. Laser hits atoms – deposits energy to electronic states of valence & conduction bands 2. Energy state distribution – relaxation time t R 3. Energy transported macroscopically 4. Displacement of atoms – ablation time t A  Thermal processes dominant when t A >> t R  Thermal processes dominant when t A >> t R
