Which outcome occurs when a pulsed laser exceeds the ablation threshold of a material?

💡 Explanation

Localized phase explosion occurs because pulsed lasers deliver energy faster than thermal diffusion. The Rapid heating induces explosive vaporization, rather than gradual melting, therefore material is removed rapidly; grain boundaries do not strengthen.
