Heating of opaque surfaces by picosecond laser pulses
نویسنده
چکیده
Heat conduction after the application of a short laser pulse on opaque matter is calculated assuming simplifying conditions. The effect of the simplifications on real systems is discussed. It is found that Fourier’s law may reasonably be applied considerably above the temperature of vaporization of the substrate. Calculated and experimental ablation at nickel surfaces using fluences below threshold are compared.

Intense picosecond X-Ray pulses from laser plasmas by use of nanostructured "Velvet" targets
We describe the optical, radiative, and laser-plasma physics of a new type of nanostructured surface especially promising as a very high absorption target for high-peak-power subpicosecond laser-matter interaction. This oriented-nanowire material, irradiated by 1 ps pulses at intensities up to 10(17) W cm(-2), produces picosecond soft x-ray pulses 50x more efficiently than do solid targets. We ...

Recent achievements of nonlinear acoustics concerning the realization of solitons and solitary waves in crystals and their surfaces attained by nanosecond and picosecond laser ultrasonics are discussed and compared. The corresponding pump-probe setups are described, which allow an all-optical contact-free excitation and detection of short strain pulses in the broad frequency range between 10 MH...

We propose and demonstrate the use of short pulsed fiber lasers in surface texturing using MHz-repetition-rate, microjoule- and sub-microjoule-energy pulses. Texturing of titanium-based (Ti6Al4V) dental implant surfaces is achieved using femtosecond, picosecond and (for comparison) nanosecond pulses with the aim of controlling attachment of human cells onto the surface. Femtosecond and picoseco...
متن کاملEffect of quantum correction on the acceleration and delayed heating of plasma blocks.
The interaction of laser pulses of picosecond duration and terawatt to petawatt power accelerated for the very fast undistorted plasma blocks for deuterium DD or deuterium tritium fast ignition is investigated. Based on the direct and instant conversion of laser energy into mechanical motion by nonlinear (ponderomotive) forces, any thermal pressure generation is delayed by the collision process...
متن کاملDynamic band unblocking and leakage two-photon absorption in InSb
An experimental demonstration of a dynamic decrease of the optical band gap of bulk n-InSb induced by picosecond, midinfrared laser pulses is reported. This occurs as a result of laser heating of the quiescent electron distribution by free-carrier absorption. The hot electrons vacate low-energy states near the conductionband minimum, unblocking terminal states for two-photon absorption across t...
