Abstract
Laser ablation of solid targets by Ti:sapphire laser radiation is stud ied. The solid targets are irradiated by 0.2-5000 ps laser pulses in t he intensity range of 10(9) - 5 x 10(16) W/cm(2). Dependences of the a blation depth on the laser pulse energy and pulse duration are discuss ed. Advantages of sub-picosecond laser radiation for precise material processing are demonstrated.
