Time of flight mass spectroscopy of femtosecond laser ablation of solid surfaces

We have investigated femtosecond laser-induced ablation of gallium arsenide and silicon using time-of-flight mass spectroscopy. Below the ablation threshold we observe free flight desorption of atoms from the laser heated surface. The absence of collisions between particles leaving the solid allows...
