Abstract :
Summary form only given. Ablation of solids by ultrafast lasers attracts increasing interest, in particular with respect to potential applications of such lasers in material processing. In this work we concentrate on the distinct ablation behavior of a specific material system, namely thin films of amorphous, diamondlike carbon. 50 nm films with densities close to that of crystalline diamond have been grown on quartz and silicon substrates by nanosecond pulsed laser deposition (PLD).
