Abstract
We have observed wavelength-dependent laser ablation of diamond films demonstrating the C-H bond-stretching mode at 3.5 mu m, which is impor tant in the early stages of photodamage. In particular, there is a sha rp drop in the ablation threshold near 3.5 mu m. The measurements were made with the Vanderbilt Free-Electron Laser (FEL). We also observed the onset of morphological changes by using an atomic force microscope (AFM).
