Abstract Raman spectra of laser heated carbon blacks provide information on the dynamics of the graphitization process. Continuous wave and pulsed-laser heating is used. It is shown that two ordering mechanisms of distinctly different reaction rates are present during the heat treatment. The dominating mechanism, during the initial stages of graphitization, is characterized by a very fast rate. The rate during the later stages of the process, after the initial first couple of seconds, is orders of magnitude slower.

There is a growing body of experimental evidence showing that the kinetics of nascent vapor produced during pulsed laser heating of metals cannot always be ascribed to the surface thermal conditions. Some investigators have proposed that the discharge of energetic (nonthermal) atoms from metals can involve light coupling to surface plasmons. This requires surface roughness to facilitate wave vector matching of laser light with surface electromagnetic excitation modes. If true, superthermal vaporization kinetics should disappear from time-of-flight measurements when an optically smooth surface is used. Unfortunately, maintaining such an ideal surface is infeasible on a solid target because each laser pulse introduces nanometer sized roughness through the process of melting and resolidification. We have investigated the nature of vaporization from a liquid Hg surface using a nanosecond laser emitting 5 eV photons. Surface tension of the liquid provides an optically smooth surface for this experiment. Nevertheless, we observe superthermal vaporization kinetics from liquid Hg. Yet, the shape of the energy distribution is Boltzmann (the thermal expectation), and the energy distribution does not demonstrate any quanta characteristic of vaporization mediated by an electronic excitation.

Abstract A simplified finite element model is built to study the thermal response of the 193-nm pulsed-laser calorimeter. The nonequivalence between pulsed-laser heating and electrical heating is estimated to be 0.46% at the thermocouple locations by comparing the calibration factors for average-power laser heating and electrical heating. This study should help the development of calibration and measurement standards in pulsed energy measurements for deep ultraviolet excimer lasers that are important for photolithographic and materials processing applications.
