Shadowgraphic imaging of laser transfer driven by metal film blistering
A time-resolved shadowgraphic technique was used to investigate local transfer of diamond nanopowder from a thin titanium film on a silica support under irradiation by 450-fs or 50-ps laser pulses. Clean powde...

Dry laser cleaning of anodized aluminium
Standard anodized aluminium samples with about a 20-μm-thick oxide layer were investigated for cleaning study by means of laser pulses. The removal caused by overheated melting and mechanical stress was studi...
