Generation of Shock Waves in Confined Excimer Laser Ablation of Polyimide
Keyword(s):
AbstractWe study acoustic effects associated with the ablation of polyimide under water confinement. Ablation launches a shock in the target. After the shock propagates into the surrounding water we measure its velocity with an optical probe system. In the water the shocks decay after propagating a few hundred microns. The peak shock pressure scales with the square root of the laser fluence. Our observations can be explained by a simple model that interprets the generated pressures as being due to the heating of a confined ideal gas.
