Enhanced ablation and photoacoustic excitation in near-threshold laser ablation of liquid-coated surfaces [PDF]
Journal of Applied Physics, 2001 The effect of an artificially deposited liquid film on a laser-ablated metal surface at near-threshold laser fluences is presented. Experiments utilizing a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (wavelength=1064 nm, full width at half maximum=6 ns) reveal that deposition of a liquid film results in substantial reduction of ablation threshold and enhancement of ...

The impact of O/Si ratio and hydrogen content on ArF excimer laser ablation of fused silica [PDF]
Journal of the European Optical Society-Rapid Publications, 2014 The impact of stoichiometry and hydrogen content on the ArF excimer laser ablation characteristics of fused silica is investigated. Near-surface substoichiometic SiOx with X < 2 diminishes the ablation threshold as a result of increased absorption.

The Experimental and Modeling Study of Femtosecond Laser-Ablated Silicon Surface
Journal of Manufacturing and Materials Processing, 2023 In this study, monocrystalline silicon was ablated by a single 1030 nm femtosecond laser pulse. Variable laser fluence (0.16–3.06 J/cm2) was used, and two ablation thresholds (0.8 and 1.67 J/cm2) were determined experimentally.
