Figure 5From: A study of photothermal laser ablation of various polymers on microsecond time scalesCenter temperature vs. delay time for various polymers (squares) including finite element simulation results (blue dashed line) at a fluence of 1.56 J/cm2for a polystyrene film with according absorbance and film thickness. The simulations were conducted assuming no energy loss. Only for the triazene polymer a simulation with a constant loss factor of 50% was added (blue short-dashed line). Additionally the relative laser intensity profile is included in the graph (red dotted line, right axis).Back to article page
