Figure 8From: A study of photothermal laser ablation of various polymers on microsecond time scalesDepth vs. center temperature for various polymers. (a) is showing an overview while (b) is giving a close up around the ablation threshold. For polystyrene results of films thicknesses between 266 and 1930 nm were included. The temperatures correspond to a delay time of 14 μs. The lines are guides for the eye.Back to article page
