Laser Ablation

Laser ablation is the process of removing material from a solid or a liquid surface by irradiating it with a laser beam. It depends on the nature of the material and its ability to absorb energy. When a low laser beam acts on the surface, then the surface material is heated by the absorbed laser energy and evaporates; whereas with a high laser beam, the material gets converted to plasma. The removal of material depends on the materials optical properties and the laser wavelength. It is found to be valuable in research and industrial applications. Its industrial applications include laser drilling, cleaning surfaces, removing paint or coatings or to prepare surfaces for painting without harming the surface beneath.
