This 1996 volume provided the first comprehensive overview of the
use of ultraviolet laser radiation in the processing of materials.
Lasers operating at ultraviolet wavelengths combine the ability to
vaporise the most refractory of materials with the precision to
ablate micron-sized holes in polymers and remove thin layers from
the cornea for corrective surgery of the human eye. This book
explores the use of UV laser radiation for the ablation and
deposition of metals, insulating solids, polymers, semiconductors
and superconductors. Emphasis has been placed on understanding the
physical mechanisms accompanying these processes and the conversion
of intense UV radiation to photothermal and photochemical energy in
irradiated materials. This will be an invaluable source-book of
current information in the rapidly developing field of laser
applications for engineers, scientists, researchers and students in
universities, government laboratories and the private sector, and
will also form a valuable supplementary text for graduate courses
in materials science.
