Abstract
Fluoroplastics, for example PTFE, are ablated using laser pulses with a duration of 300 fs, a wavelength of 248 nm and a fluence between approximately 0.5 and 1 J/cm2. Under these conditions, the ablation rate is of the order of 1 micrometre per laser pulse.
Description
Verfahren zur Ablation von polymeren Kunststoffen mittels ultrakurzer Laserstrahlungsimpulse Process for the ablation of polymer plastics using ultrashort laser radiation pulses
Es ist bekannt, daß eine saubere Ablation von Polymethyl- methacrylat (PMMA) mit ultrakurzen UV-Laserstrahlungsimpulsen (Dauer 300 fs, Wellenlänge 248 nm) bewirkt werden kann (Appl. Phys. B 44, 199-204 (1987)) .It is known that clean ablation of polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA) with ultra-short UV laser radiation pulses (duration 300 fs, wavelength 248 nm) can be effected (Appl. Phys. B 44, 199-204 (1987)).
Es hat sich überraschenderweise gezeigt, daß mit ähnlichen Verfahrensparametern auch eine saubere Ablation von Fluorkunst¬ stoffen, wie Polytetrafluorethylen (PTFE), erreicht werden kann, obwohl dieser Polymertyp eine ganz andere chemische Konstitution hat und im Molekül wesentlich stärkere und stabilere Bindungen aufweist als PMMA.It has surprisingly been found that clean process ablation of fluoroplastics, such as polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE), can also be achieved with similar process parameters, although this type of polymer has a completely different chemical constitution and has significantly stronger and more stable bonds in the molecule than PMMA.

The Fluence threshold is three times that of PMMA under the same conditions, which shows that PTFE can withstand a higher photon load without affecting its chemical structure.
