We discuss the generation of high-density and high-temperature plasmas by focusing high
peak power laser radiation onto a solid target. Emphasis will be put on the process of laser …

Excimer laser ablation of gold films deposited on a quartz crystal microbalance is
investigated. The ablation rate is directly obtained from the frequency shift of the …

Selective laser ablation of a wafer-scale graphene film is shown to provide flexible, high
speed (1 wafer/hour) device fabrication while avoiding the degradation of electrical …

Single-shot laser damage of Ni and Cr films on fused silica substrates has been studied as a
function of film thickness, utilizing 248 nm/14 ns pulses and detection by probe beam …

A technique for the fabrication of periodic lines and holes in thin gold films (⁠ 5–50 nm thick)
on a glass substrate by irradiation with two and four intersecting beams of a nanosecond …

Piezoelectric polymers have been known to exist for more than 40 years, but in recent years
they have been recognized as smart materials for the fabrication of microsensors …

We present a technique for the transfer of silicon thin films. This transfer is effected by
irradiating a hydrogenated amorphous silicon film deposited on a quartz substrate with an …

Highly oriented pyrolytic graphite (HOPG) was ablated by a 193-nm ArF excimer laser in air.
The fluence was varied in the range 1–25 J/cm 2. Every laser shot hit a pristine graphite …

The excimer laser has been widely used for the removal of thin metal films. In this work,
excimer laser ablation was applied to remove chromium films from glass substrates. To …

Polyimides have been known as a super-engineering plastic for more than 40 years due to
their excellent thermal stability and mechanical properties. In recent years they have been …
