Abstract
We have demonstrated ablation of polyfluorocarbon films with femtosecond Ti: sapphire laser pulses.1,2 A photon energy of the absorption edge of PTFE is five times as large as that of Ti:sapphire laser. This large difference of the photon energies are overcome by nonlinear absorption caused by high intensity of the Ti:sapphire laser. The ultrashort pulse width plays a significant role to increase the effective absorption, resulting in minimizing energy loss.
