Abstract

This chapter reviews the peculiarities of ultrashort laser pulse interaction with materials and the consequences for materials processing. After a short introduction, presenting time scales of typical processes and comparing previous results for femtosecond and nanosecond laser pulses, we start with the fundamentals of laser-material coupling. Then we describe energy dissipation dynamics and direct follow-up processes and finish with a consideration of bulk and surface relaxation and structure formation on a time scale much longer than the pulse duration.
