VUV 157 nm laser ablation of composite structures

We report on the laser ablation of composite prismatic structures using a vacuum ultraviolet (VUV) 157 nm F(2) laser. Polycarbonate and CR-39 substrates have been intentionally seeded with silver wires and silicon carbide whiskers respectively. The seed particles remain attached to the underlying su...
