FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Schematic of the experimental setup for laser ablation measurement. The laser pulse (355 nm, 20 ps or 1064 nm, 28 ps) is focused on the sample using a 1-meter focal length lens. Two 532 nm, 3 ns lasers and two CCD cameras are used for pump-probe shadowgraph imagingmore » of the ejected material at selected time delays. The inset shows the setup used for ejecta collection.
