Optimized technique for laser processing of glass and ceramic materials

Within the framework of the one-dimensional problem of the evaporation of an absorbing layer of a material with an "instantaneous" release of laser pulse energy, an analytical relationship is obtained for calculating the evaporated mass of a substance per unit of input energy. This ratio makes it possible to determine the optimal processing mode for glassy and ceramic materials with volumetric absorption of laser radiation. An experimental verification of the adequacy of the computational model has been carried out.
