Figure 9From: A study of photothermal laser ablation of various polymers on microsecond time scalesCenter temperature vs. fluence for polystyrene film of high (squares, solid line) and low (circles, dashed line) molecular weight. Polymer films with a thickness of 2045 nm and absorption per film thickness of 27,300 m-1 for the high respectively 1555 nm and 43,700 m-1 for the low molecular weight were used.Back to article page
