Laser Ablation

Laser ablation is the basis of many subtractive laser material processing applications. A range of aspects need to be observed, including the absorption of laser radiation, the ejection of material, thermal conduction, effect of multiple pulses and the heat affected zone.

Laser ablation means removing some material from a solid surface using intense laser light, usually in the form of a laser beam. This term is often not regarded as a laser application as such, but rather as a process which is utilized in the context of specific applications in subtractive laser material processing (laser machining), such as laser engraving, cutting or drilling.
