Residual Heat in Ultra-Short Pulsed Laser Ablation of Metals
نویسندگان
چکیده
In ultra-short pulsed laser ablation of metals, a considerable amount of the incident laser energy remains in the workpiece as residual heat. When using high repetition rates, this can cause severe damage due to heat accumulation effects. In this paper, the amount and the spatial distribution of the residual heat deposited by a spatially Gaussian-shaped laser pulse are investigated by means of calorimetric measurements.

Thermal Processing of Thin Films Using Ultra-short Laser Pulses Applied to Photovoltaic Materials
Ultra-short pulsed laser sources, with pulse durations in the ps and fs regime, arecommonly exploited for cold ablation. However, operating ultra-short pulsed lasersources at fluence levels well below the ablation threshold allows for fast and selectivethermal processing. The latter is especially advantageous for the processing of thinfilms. A precise control of the heat affecte...

Short pulsed laser is preferred to avoid the thermal damage in processing the heat sensitive material, such as carbon fiber reinforced plastic (CFRP). In this paper, a numerical model capturing both the material ablation and polymer matrix pyrolysis processes in pulsed laser processing is established. The effect of laser pulse length from ns order to μs order is studied. It was found that with ...
