Center temperature vs. fluence for various polymers (squares) including finite element simulation results for a polystyrene film with according absorbance and film thickness (blue dashed line). The given temperature corresponds to a delay time of 14 μs with a 15 μs laser pulse and an integration time of 1 μs. The simulations were conducted neglecting ablation. Only for the triazene polymer a simulation with a constant loss factor of 50% was added (blue short-dashed line). The properties of the polymer films are given in table two.
