Wavelength dependence of the single pulse femtosecond laser ablation threshold of indium phosphide in the 400-2050 nm range
We present single pulse femtosecond laser ablation threshold measurements of InP obtained by optical, scanning electron, and atomic force microscopy. The experiments were conducted with laser pulses 65-175 fs in duration, in the wavelength range from 400 to 2050 nm, covering the photon energy region above and below the bandgap of InP. The ablation thresholds determined from depth and volume measurements varied from 87 mJ/cm(2) at 400 nm to 250 mJ/cm(2) at 2050 nm. In addition, crater depths and volumes were measured over a range of laser fluences extending well above the ablation threshold. (c) 2004 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
