Measurement of femtosecond laser-induced damage and ablation thresholds in dielectrics

Abstract

The paper is focused on the importance of accurate determination of surface damage/ablation threshold of a dielectric material irradiated with femtosecond laser pulses. We show that different damage characterization techniques and data treatment procedures from a single experiment provide complementary physical results characterizing laser–matter interaction. We thus compare and discuss two regression techniques, well adapted to the measurement of laser ablation threshold, and a statistical approach giving the laser damage threshold and further information concerning the deterministic character of femtosecond damage. These two measurements are crucial for laser micromachining processes and high peak-power laser technology in general.
