Laser ablation of dielectrics by ultrashort laser pulses is reviewed. The basic interaction
between ultrashort light pulses and the dielectric material is described, and different …

The interaction of ultra-fast sub-picosecond laser pulses with solids is a very broad area of
research. The boundaries for research fields covered by this review are defined as follows. A …

The chirped pulse amplification technique has enabled the generation of pulses of a few
femtosecond duration with peak powers multi-Tera and Peta–Watt in the near infrared. Its …

Zirconia toughened alumina (ZTA) is commonly used in hip joint implants and cutting tools.
The difference in material properties of the zirconia and alumina phases makes the …

The interaction of ultrashort laser pulses with dielectrics is associated with strong coupling
between the material response and the light. The ultrashort pulses excite the materials, and …

Both gallium oxide and gallium nitride have great potential for use as high power
transparent conducting oxide materials for a wide range of optoelectronic applications. It is …

We formulate a multiphysics model describing the nonlinear propagation of a femtosecond,
near-infrared, tightly focused laser pulse in a wide-band dielectric. The application of our …

HfO_2 single layers, 800 nm high-reflective (HR) coating, and 1064 nm HR coating were
prepared by electron-beam evaporation. The laser-induced damage thresholds (LIDTs) and …

Harmonic generation in wide bandgap semiconductors and dielectrics has attracted a surge
of interest as a compact solid-state light source and as a method of map** the band …

The coupling of energy from a light field to the material is the fundamental step of any laser-
processing technology, and the subsequent relaxation determines the material response …
