AbstractPump-probe imaging of femtosecond pulsed laser ablation was performed to investigate the mechanical shock induced on an intermetallic superalloy CMSX-4 during femtosecond laser machining. Time resolved shadowgraphic images were collected of the shock wave produced in the air above the target following laser exposure (0-10.3 nanoseconds). The dimensions of the shock wave were measured as a function of delay time and laser fluence (1.27 J/cm2 - 62.8 J/cm2). Time-resolved shadowgraphic images of the ablation event will be presented, and the corresponding damage morphology as a function of incident laser fluence will be discussed.

In this paper, the femtosecond laser ablation of silicon is investigated by a two-dimensional hydrodynamic model. The ablation depth of the silicon wafer ablated in air at different laser intensities is calculated, and the corresponding experimental measurements are carried out for validation. Two different ablation regimes have been identified by varying the laser fluence. While two-photon absorption dominates in the low fluence regime (<2 J/cm2), electron heat diffusion is a major energy transport mechanism at higher laser fluences (>2 J/cm2). The ablation efficiency first increases with the laser fluence, and reaches the peak value at the laser fluence around 8 J/cm2. It starts to drop when the laser fluence further increases, because of the early plasma absorption of the laser beam energy.

Colloidal solutions of gold and silver nanoparticles (NPs) were synthesized using a Q-switched Nd:YAG laser (1064 nm, 6 ns, 1 Hz ) ablation. Gold and silver bars were immersed in deionized water and irradiated by laser pulses for 4 min. The laser fluence was verified within the range of 21 – 39 J/cm2 with a fixed beam diameter of 1.6 mm. The effect of laser pulse fluence on both size and ablation efficiency of gold and silver nanoparticles were studied. The optical spectral characterization and morphological analysis of these nanoparticles were carried out by UV-Vis spectrophotometer and transmission electron microscopy (TEM), respectively. The average particle size for Au and Ag are 38.0 ± 10.3 nm and 31.3 ± 10.5 nm at corresponding optimized laser fluence of 31 and 25 Jcm-2 respectively.

AbstractAudible acoustic wave detection is applied to investigate KrF excimer laser ablation of Indium Tin Oxide (ITO) thin film layer for Liquid Crystal Display (LCD) patterning. It is found that there is no acoustic wave generation if laser fluence is lower than ITO ablation threshold. For laser fluence higher than the threshold, audible acoustic wave will be detected due to shock wave generation during ITO laser ablation. The amplitude of the acoustic wave is closely related to the laser ablation rate. With more laser pulse applied, the amplitude is dropped to zero because the ITO layer is completely removed. However, if laser fluence is increased higher than ablation threshold for glass substrate, the amplitude is also dropped with pulse number but not to zero. It is due to laser ablation of ITO layer and glass substrate at the same time. Since the thickness of ITO layer is in a scale of 100 nm, laser interaction with glass substrate will happen even at the first pulse of high laser fluence irradiation. Laser ablation induced ITO plasma emission spectrum in visible light region is analyzed by an Optical Multi-channel Analyzer (OMA). Specific spectral lines are In I (325.8, 410.2 and 451.1 nm) and In II 591.1 nm. Spectral intensities of 410.2 and 451.1 nm lines are selected to characterize the evolution of ITO plasma intensity with laser fluence and pulse number. It is found that the spectral intensities are reduced to zero with laser pulse number. It is also found that spectral lines other than ITO plasma will appear for laser fluence higher than ablation threshold for glass substrate. Threshold fluences for glass and ITO ablation are estimated for setting up a parameter window to control LCD patterning in real-time.
