For the pulsed laser ablation in nanosecond fields, the key physical phenomenon of the removing process is thermal evaporation. For the process optimization of the nano-second laser ablation, it is essential to set up effective simulation that can reflect material absorption coefficient, energy intensity of laser, laser pulse shape, and so forth. In this research, material ablation in nano-second region is simulated by using a finite element method (FEM) commercial package and its result has been compared with experiment results focused on the difference in the ablation depth and its shape occurred after each laser pulse hitting. Finally, the effect of the parameter variation on the ablation process has been verified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
