description In this study, femtosecond laser double pulses were tested to improve their nickel ablation efficiency. The experimental results indicated that compared with single pulses, double pulses with different delay times generated craters with larger diameters and depths. The results obtained for three sets of double pulses with different energy ratios indicated that double pulses with an energy ratio of 1:9 had the highest ablation efficiency, followed by those with energy ratios of 2:8 and 5:5. The double pulses with the aforementioned three energy ratios achieved the maximum ablation efficiency when the delay time was 3–4 ps. Compared with single pulses, double pulses with an energy ratio of 1:9 generated craters with an up to 34% greater depth and up to 14% larger diameter. In addition, an interference effect was observed with a double pulse delay time of 0 ps, which has seldom been reported in the literature. The double pulses were simulated using the two-temperature model. The simulation results indicated that double pulses with an energy ratio of 1:9 with a delay time of 4 ps can perform the strongest ablation. These simulation results are in line with the experimental results.
