Excimer laser photofragmentation of metallic nanoparticles

Copper nanoparticles (Cu NPs) were prepared by different chemical methods possessing different sizes. While, silver nanoparticles (Ag NPs) were prepared by borohydride reduction method. The influences the changes in sizes of Ag NPs and Cu NPs were demonstrated by the absorption spectra. When Ag NPs and Cu NPs irradiated with 193 and 308 nm excimer laser, respectively; the maximum absorption decreased as the number of pulses increased up to 10 thousands pulse; due to the size reduction. The TEM photography gives good criteria about the size reduction process. Moreover, the mechanism of photofragmentation was described.     

Adaptive control of femtosecond laser ablation plasma emission

The influence of temporal pulse shaping on plasma plume generated by ultrafast laser irradiation of aluminum is investigated. Time resolved plasma emission spectroscopy is coupled with a temporal shaping procedure in a closed loop. The ionic emission is enhanced relative to the neutral one via an adaptive optimization strategy. The plasma emission efficiency in case of optimized and ultrashort temporal shapes of the laser pulses are compared, evidencing an enhancement of the ionization degree of the plasma plume. Simplified temporal shapes of the femtosecond laser pulses are extracted from the optimized shape and their corresponding effect on laser induced plasma emission is discussed.     

KrF laser ablation of a polyethersulfone film: Effect of pulse duration on structure formation

Polyethersulfone (PES) films were processed with KrF laser irradiation of different pulse durations (τ). Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and Raman spectroscopy were employed for the examination of the morphology and chemical composition of the irradiated surfaces, respectively. During ablation with 500 fs and 5 ps pulses, localized deformations (beads), micro-ripple and conical structures were observed on the surface depending on the irradiation fluence (F) and the number of pulses (N). In addition, the number density of the structures is affected by the irradiation parameters (τ, F, N). Furthermore, at longer pulse durations (τ = 30 ns), conical structures appear at lower laser fluence values, which are converted into columnar structures upon irradiation at higher fluences. The Raman spectra collected from the top of the structures following irradiation at different pulse durations revealed graphitization of the ns laser treated areas, in contrast to those processed with ultra-short laser pulses.     

Mechanisms and application of the Excimer laser doping from spin-on glass sources for USJ fabrication

In this work was investigated numerically and experimentally a simple laser doping method employing borosilicate (BSG) glass films as dopant sources which are deposited onto Si by the spin-coating technique. Both short (20 ns) and long (200 ns) pulse duration Excimer laser beams were used to deposit a large amount of energy in short time onto the near-surface region. Under suitable conditions, the irradiation leads to surface melting and dopant incorporation by liquid phase diffusion from the surface. Boron distribution profiles in the two-pulse duration regimes were studied as well as their electrical properties, and the junction formation of less than 25 nm in depth was demonstrated.     

Excimer laser micromachining of aspheric microlenses with precise surface profile control and optimal focusing capability

This paper demonstrates the unique and exceptional capability of excimer laser micromachining in fabricating aspheric microlenses with precise surface profile control. A newly developed laser scanning method is introduced for machining refractive types of microlenses, which have pre-designed surface profiles aiming at minimizing the optical focal spot sizes. The machining accuracy and machined surface roughness are examined experimentally, and very good results are obtained. Optical testing on the fabricated aspheric microlenses shows significant improvement in focusing capability and the focal spot sizes are approaching optical diffraction limits. The proposed excimer laser micromachining method is flexible, versatile, and accurate, hence can be very useful and powerful in machining 3D microstructures of complex profiles and demanding profile accuracy.

Self-focusing of laser pulse propagating in magnetized plasma

Influence of arbitrary outside magnetic field on self-focusing of short intense laser pulse propagating in underdense and magnetized cold plasma has been studied in this paper. The outside magnetic field is set in the plane that includes y- and z-axis, and the angle between y-axis and the outside magnetic field is to be used. Results show that there is different effect on self-focusing corresponding to different angle and intensity, the larger this angle, the weaker the effect of self-focusing. The strengthening of outside magnetic field enhances the relevant effect of self-focusing.
