Abstract

By careful design and engineering of polymeric materials, it is possible to have extremely efficient laser ablation processes using pulses from near-infrared solid state lasers. In this talk, I will describe studies of the fundamental mechanisms of near-infrared polymer ablation processes, and the application of these processes in industry, primarily in the area of graphic arts and microlithography, and in academia, where they are used to study the physical properties of materials under extreme conditions of shock compression.
