Abstract

Laser irradiation parameters, especially the laser fluence and the number of pulses are very important factors affecting microstructures formation and improvement of the surface characteristics in different medical, electronic and the other industrial applications. Information about the fluence domain and the number of pulses for the formation of the structures is very important and determines the desirable or unwanted effects of the laser irradiation on the surfaces regarding the desired applications. In this paper Polyethersulfone films were irradiated with a XeCl laser at fluences above the ablation threshold. The effects of the laser fluence and the number of pulses on the formation of different microstructures on the surface were investigated

Keywords
