This paper aims to contribute to the understanding of column formation mechanisms in Al2O3–TiC ceramics micromachined using excimer lasers. Chemical and structural characterization of columns grown in Al2O3–TiC composite processed with 200 KrF laser pulses at 10 J/cm2 was carried out by scanning electron microscopy, transmission electron microscopy, x-ray photoelectron spectroscopy, and x-ray diffraction analysis. Fully developed columns consist of a core of unprocessed material surrounded by an outer layer of Al2TiO5, formed in oxidizing conditions, and an inner layer, formed in reducing conditions, composed of TiC and Al3Ti or an AlTi solid solution. Possible mechanisms of column formation are discussed.

Amorphous silicon germanium (a-SiGe) films, deposited on silicon substrates at room temperature in a molecular beam epitaxy system, were transformed into a single-crystal film and doped with phosphorus by exposure to KrF laser pulses. Electron channeling patterns showed that laser exposure resulted in crystallization of the undoped a-SiGe films. The SiGe films were doped by laser irradiation, using a phosphorus spin-on-dopant. The sheet resistance of the doped films decreased with increasing numbers of pulses, reaching a value of about ∼ 5 × 104 ohms/□ after 15 pulses. I-V data from mesa-type n-SiGe/p-Si diode devices were used to determine the effect of laser processing on the quality of the SiGe films.

AbstractUltrafast laser pulses (≤1 ps) are qualitatively different in the nature of their interaction with materials, including biotissues, as compared to nanosecond or longer pulses. This can confer pronounced advantages in outcomes for tissue therapy or laser surgery. At the same time, there are distinct limitations of their strong-field mode of interaction. As an alternative, it is shown here that ultrafast laser pulses delivered in a pulse-train burst mode of radiant exposure can access new degrees of control of the interaction process and of the heat left behind in tissues. Using a laser system that delivers 1 ps pulses in 20 μs pulse-train bursts at 133 MHz repetition rates, a range of heat and energy-transfer effects on hard and soft tissue have been studied. The ablation of tooth dentin and enamel under various conditions, to assess the ablation rate and characterize chemical changes that occur, are reported. This is compared to ablation in agar gels, useful live-cell-culture phantom of soft tissues, and presenting different mechanical strength. Study of aspects of the optical science of laser-tissue interaction promises to make qualitative improvements to medical treatments using lasers as cutting and ablative tools.
