Abstract

In this paper, investigation of photochemical and photomechanical effects induced in polymer substrates under pulsed UV ablation is presented. The examined laser parameters are the wavelength at 248 nm and 193 nm in the nanosecond regime, and the fluence below and above the ablation threshold. The two polymeric substrates used are PMMA and blends of PMMA and PS.
