Experimental investigation on spectral-energy efficiency of femtosecond laser ablation of metals

Abstract

Results of investigation on spectral-energy thresholds, rates, and mass flow rates of laser ablation of structural materials (Cu, Ti, Zr, Nb, Mo) of high-energy photonics are presented. The data were obtained by means of an experimental diagnostic module developed for study of multifactor interaction processes between UV-near IR femtosecond laser pulse radiation and condensed media in vacuum.
