← ScienceWhich outcome occurs when a pulsed laser drills into a polymer?
A)Ablation removes material via photodecomposition✓
B)Selective ionization causes wavelength self-focusing
C)Plasma absorbs incoming laser energy
D)Increased reflectivity reduces spot diameter
💡 Explanation
Ablation occurs because the laser's energy causes photodecomposition, breaking polymer bonds. Therefore material is removed, rather than ionized or reflected since the pulsed laser creates hot plasma.
