Laser Damage to Metallic Targets of Different Thermal Properties PDF

Abstract

An empirical formula is applied to relate laser-induced damage to single metallic films to their thermal properties. The dependence of the resulting damage into targets of double metallic layers on their thicknesses is investigated. The damage into the double layer target is found to be four times greater than its value for the corresponding thickness in the single layer case, when the laser powder pulse is kept constant
