The ablation rates were found to be similar for all three materials, ~80-90 nm/pulse at 1 J/cm2. The results suggest that the ablation of organic polymers induced by intense extreme ultraviolet laser radiation differs from that corresponding to irradiation with longer wavelengths.born digitalarticleseng©2005 American Institute of Physics.Copyright and other restrictions may apply.
