← ScienceWhich consequence results when a pulsed laser induces rapid heating in transparent polymer?
A)Reduced material refractive index
B)Increased elastic modulus uniformity
C)Material ablation and plume formation✓
D)Increased optical transmission efficiency
💡 Explanation
Material ablation occurs because the rapid heating, via photothermal ablation mechanism, causes bond breaking leading to localized vaporization; therefore, material ejects as fragments. Rather than increased transmission, excessive temperatures will initiate thermal degradation.
