“…With 50 fs pulses, the total plasma intensity with double pulses of 20 µJ (220 µJ) was 100 times higher than the one with a single pulse of the same pulse energy (120 µJ), and 50 times higher than the one with a single pulse but with a doubled pulse energy (140 µJ). Our observations on ultrashort double pulse ablation have been confirmed in similar studies in [19][20][21][22][23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32][33][34][35][36].…”

Laser microablation of Al matrix samples with known Cu-and Mg-concentrations was performed by single and double pulses of 50 fs and 1 ps pulse duration in air and with Ar-jet.The micro-LIBS analytical features obtained under different experimental conditions were characterized and compared. The highest shot-to-shot reproducibility and gain in plasma spectral line intensity were obtained with double pulses with Ar-jet for both 50 fs and 1 ps pulse durations. The best calibration curves were obtained with 1ps pulse duration with Ar-jet. Micro-LIBS with ultrashort double pulses may find its effective application for surface elemental microcartography.

Abstract:The drilling of copper using a dual-pulse femtosecond laser with wavelength of 800 nm, pulse duration of 120 fs and a variable pulse separation time (0.1-150 ps) is investigated theoretically. A one-dimensional two-temperature model with temperature-dependent material properties is considered, including dynamic optical properties and the thermal-physical properties. Rapid phase change and phase explosion models are incorporated to simulate the material ablation process. Numerical results show that under the same total laser fluence of 4 J/cm 2 , a dual-pulse femtosecond laser with a pulse separation time of 30-150 ps can increase the ablation depth, compared to the single pulse. The optimum pulse separation time is 85 ps. It is also demonstrated that a dual pulse with a suitable pulse separation time for different laser fluences can enhance the ablation rate by about 1.6 times.

“…For bursts with shorter inter-pulse delay, it was reported that plasma shielding limits the removal efficiency [14] while longer delays cause highenergy plasma generation that is explosively remelting the surface, in turn increasing surface roughness significantly [11]. In case of pulse-train processing with very short picosecond inter-pulse delay, by contrast, electron/ion yield [15][16][17], plasma intensity [18][19][20][21], and phonon temperature [17,[22][23][24][25][26] increase as a result of enhanced photon efficiency. For the latter, temperature simulations indicate that inter-pulse delay of 10 ps or less is optimal for maximum heating.…”

Experimental study on double-pulse laser ablation of steel upon multiple parallel-polarized ultrashort-pulse irradiations

et al. 2016

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

In this paper, double-pulse laser processing is experimentally studied with the aim to explore the influence of ultrashort pulses with very short time intervals on ablation efficiency and quality. For this, sequences of 50 double pulses of varied energy and inter-pulse delay, as adjusted between 400 fs and 18 ns by splitting the laser beam into two optical paths of different length, were irradiated to technical-grade stainless steel. The depth and the volume of the craters produced were measured in order to evaluate the efficiency of the ablation process; the crater quality was analyzed by SEM micrographs. The results obtained were compared with craters produced with sequences of 50 single pulses and energies equal to the double pulse. It is demonstrated that double-pulse processing cannot exceed the ablation efficiency of single pulses of optimal fluence, but the ablation crater surface formed smoother if inter-pulse delay was in the range between 10 ns and 18 ns. In addition, the influence of pulse duration and energy distribution between the individual pulses of the double pulse on ablation was studied. For very short inter-pulse delay, no significant effect of energy variation within the double pulse on removal rate was found, indicating that the double pulse acts as a big single pulse of equal energy. Further, the higher removal efficiency was achieved when double-pulse processing using femtosecond pulses instead of picosecond pulses.
