ResumoThis paper describes a process for the laser machining of thin metallic films on dielectric substrates. The observation of a distinct minimum in the machining threshold and the fact that no substrate damage occurs over a wide range of incident power are explained based on an explosive film-removal mechanism. Experimental results supporting the predictions are presented.
