Ablation dynamics of solids heated by femtosecond laser pulses

Ultrafast time resolved microscopy of femtosecond laser irradiated surfaces reveals a universal feature of the ablating surface on nanosecond time scale. All investigated materials show rings in the ablation zone, which were identified as an interference pattern (Newton fringes). Optically sharp sur...
