EFFECTS OF POWER DENSITY ON CHARACTERISTICS OF LASER BEAM INTERACTION WITH SOLID MATERIALS.
Abstract
The power density of a 2.8 msec pulse length laser was varied from approximately 100,000 to 10,000,000 watts per square centimeter in order to observe various laser beam solid interaction characteristics. Mass loss, penetration depth, and time integrated and some time-resolved spectroscopic results are reported for tungsten, pyrolytic graphite, aluminum and copper. (Author)
