Abstract

Time resolved shadowgraph images were recorded of shockwaves and particle ejection from silicon during laser ablation. Particle ejection and expansion were correlated to an internal shockwave resonating between the shockwave front and the target surface. The number of particles ablated increased with laser energy and was related to the crater volume.

A study of particle generation during laser ablation with applications

Thesis/Dissertation Liu, Chunyi

A study has been made of the generation of particles during laser ablation and has included size distribution measurements and observation of the formation processes. The particle size distribution with respect to different laser parameters was obtained in-line using a differential mobility analyzer (DMA) and a particle counter. The experimental results show that the particle size varies with laser energy, laser pulsewidth, ambient gas flow rate and sample properties. The results serve as a basis for controlling the size of nanoparticles generated by laser ablation. Laser shadowgraph imaging was used to study mass ejection processes and mechanisms.

Evidence for phase-explosion and generation of large particles during high power nanosecond laser ablation of silicon

Journal Article Yoo, J; Jeong, S; Mao, X; ... - Applied Physics Letters

The craters resulting from high-irradiance (1x10{sup 9}-1x10{sup 11} W/cm{sup 2}) single-pulse laser ablation of single-crystal silicon show a dramatic increase in volume at a threshold irradiance of 2.2x10{sup 10} W/CM{sup 2}. Time-resolved shadowgraph images show ejection of large particulates from the sample above this threshold irradiance, with a time delay {approx}300 ns. A numerical model was used to estimate the thickness of a superheated layer near the critical state. Considering the transformation of liquid metal into liquid dielectric near the critical state (i.e., induced transparency), the calculated thickness of the superheated layer at a delay time of 200-300 ns agreedmore »« less

Enhanced mass removal due to phase explosion during high irradiance nanosecond laser ablation of silicon

Thesis/Dissertation Yoo, Jong

The morphology of craters resulting from high irradiance laser ablation of silicon was measured using a white light interferometry microscope. The craters show a dramatic increase in their depth and volume at a certain irradiance, indicating a change in the primary mechanism for mass removal. Laser shadowgraph imaging was used to characterize and differentiate the mass ejection processes for laser irradiances above and below the threshold value. Time-resolved images show distinct features of the mass ejected at irradiances above the threshold value including the presence of micron-sized particulates; this begins at approximately 300 ~ 400 ns after the start ofmore »« less

Time-resolved shadowgraphic study of femtosecond laser ablation of aluminum under different ambient air pressures

Journal Article Zehua, Wu; Xiaonong, Zhu; Nan, Zhang - Journal of Applied Physics

Femtosecond pulse laser ablation of aluminum under different ambient air pressures between 1 atm and 4 x 10{sup -4} Pa is investigated using a femtosecond time-resolved shadowgraphic method. It is observed that as the ambient air pressure decreases, the contact front becomes more and more distinct for a certain pressure range, demonstrating that the confinement effect of the ambient air to the ablated target material can play a critically important role in the laser ablation process. It is also found that the concentric and semicircular stripe pattern, which results from the diffraction of the probe beam by the expanding plumemore »« less

From Shadowgraph to Monochromatic Schlieren: Time-Resolved Imaging of Dim Laser-Induced Phenomena in the Presence of Saturating Plasma Emission

Journal Article Sinko, John; Pakhomov, Andrew - AIP Conference Proceedings

Plasma emission generated during a laser ablation event can saturate an imaging system, washing out valuable information about non-luminous features such as vapor plumes and shock waves. A step-by-step experimental history of development of imaging system from Shadowgraph to Monochromatic Schlieren is presented here as a method of resolving this issue. An ICCD system was used to image ablation events on {mu}s-timescales in combination with a fiber-coupled Nd:YAG laser operating at a primary output of 50 mW at 532 nm wavelength, which was used as the illumination source. A monochromatic band pass filter at 532{+-}10 nm was inserted into themore »« less
