Abstract

Excimer laser radiation may be used to process metal surfaces in a variety of novel ways. The simplest of these involves the use of UV laser pulses for ablation. Ablation occurs as the result of both vaporization and hydrodynamical effects. Experimental data related to these processes will be discussed. In addition, it will be shown how specific irradiation regimes can yield metal surfaces with unique radiative properties.
