Ir Laser Plasma Interaction With Glass

The interaction of laser plasma with respect to glass surface is reported. A Qswitched Nd:YAG laser was used as ablation source. Glass material is utilized as target specimen. Aluminum plate is used as a rotating substrate. The dynamic expansion of plasma was visualized by using CCD video camera & permanently recorded via image processing system. The exposed glass material was examined under photomicroscope & scanning electron microscope (SEM). The optical radiation from the plasma was observed by using spectrum analyzer. Results obtained show that the plasma is expanded linearly with laser energy. At low level energy symmetrical damage was found. Elongated hole is formed at high level energy. The progressive exposure on glass results in drilling process. The hole diameter is expanded non-linearly while the depth is increased linearly. The glass clusters were uniformly deposited on the aluminum substrate. The size of the glass clusters are in the range of nano and micro meter. The glass-plasma emitted radiation with majority lines of 390 and 450 nm.
