Abstract
Pulsed ultraviolet laser radiation can lead to clean and precise removal of material at the irradiated site on a polymer surface (Fig. 9.1). This phenomenon was discovered in early 1980s using an excimer laser; it was termed ablative photodecomposition and was investigated for several polymers (Table 9.1) [1167,2029, 2045, 2046]. It was also widely reviewed [160, 1296, 1297, 2028, 2030, 2031, 2035, 2036, 2044].
