Abstract
Femtosecond (fs) laser ablation is the rapid removal of material from the surface region of a target, induced by laser pulses with duration in the order of tens to hundreds of femtoseconds (10−15s). Thereby the duration of the laser pulse is so short that it addresses only the target electrons. Every other process and response of the material takes place after the pulse.
