Laser energy deposition at sapphire surfaces studied by pulsed photothermal deformation
Abstract
A surface deformation technique measures the energy deposited in sapphire surfaces irradiated by focused excimer laser light. The absorbed energy creates ≲3 electron-hole pairs/oxygen atom, consistent with a photochemical etching mechanism.
