AbstractThe interaction of near infrared femtosecond laser pulses with a Cu based alloy (brass) in ambient air at atmospheric pressure and under different laser conditions was investigated. The effects of laser fluence and number of pulses on surface morphology and ablation rate were studied using scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and optical microscopy. Ablation rates were found to rapidly increase from 83 to 604 nm/pulse in the fluence range 1.14–12.21 J/cm2. At fluence >12.21 J/cm2, ablation rates increased slowly to a maximum (607 nm/pulse at 19.14 J/cm2), and then decreased at fluence higher than 20.47 J/cm2 to 564 nm/pulse at 24.89 J/cm2. Large amounts of ablated material in a form of agglomerated fine particles were observed around the ablation craters as the number of laser pulses and fluence increased. The study of surface morphology shows reduced thermal effects with femtosecond laser ablation in comparison to nanosecond laser ablation at low fluence.

Abstract Femtosecond laser ablation of titanium and silicon samples has been studied via time-of-flight (TOF), emission spectroscopy and microscopy measurement. Laser pulses of around 100 fs (FWHM) at λ = 800 nm were delivered by a Ti:sapphire femtosecond laser system. A vacuum chamber with a base pressure of 10−7 torr was built for ion TOF measurement. These ion TOF spectra were utilized to determine the velocity distribution of the ejected ions. While nanosecond laser ablation typically generates ions of a few tens of eV, femtosecond laser irradiation even at moderate energy densities can produce energetic ions with energies of up to a few keV. The most probable energy of these fast ions is proportional to the laser fluence. The structure and number of peaks of the TOF spectra varies with the laser fluence. Images of plume emission were captured by an intensified CCD (ICCD) camera. The plume emission spectrum was analyzed by a spectrometer. Laser ablated craters were measured by an interferometric microscope and a scanning electron microscope (SEM). Ablation yield was expressed as a function of laser fluence, and number of shots.

Abstract The experimental study of the static and dynamic femtosecond laser ablation of the multilayer 15x(Ti/Zr)/Si system is reported. The layer-by-layer selective laser ablation mechanism was studied by analysis of the surface morphology and elemental composition in static single pulse irradiation in a range of pulse energy from 10 to 17 $$\upmu $$ μ J. The selective ablations, as number of concentric circles in modified spots are increased with the pulse energy. The boundary between the circles was shown a change in the depth, comparable to the thickness of the individual layers. Changes in the elemental composition at the edges are associated with the removal of the layer by layer. The dynamic multipulse irradiation was observed via the production of lines with laser-induced periodic surface structures (LIPSS) at different laser parameters (scan velocities and laser polarization). The spatial periodicity of the formed LIPSS depends on changes in the effective number of pulses and laser polarization, as well as the nature of the material. For better interpretation of the experimental results, simulations have been conducted to explore the thermal response of the multiple layered structure 15x(Ti/Zr) after static single pulse irradiation.
