title = "Ultrafast Imaging of Optical Damage in PMMA.",
abstract = "A new imaging system with ultrafast (75 ps) time resolution, the {"}picosecond microscope{"} is used to study the damage dynamics of PMMA irradiated at 532 nm. A small diameter (50 m), intense laser pulse is used to damage the PMMA, and a larger diameter, delayed probe pulse is imaged onto a video camera detector. The resultant time-dependent images are a {"}motion picture{"} of the damage process.",
