Abstract
The action of pulsed laser radiation on solid transparent polymers has been studied. Analysis has been made of different methods of concentrating the light field: focusing to a point and focusing to a caustic. High effectiveness of injury to the material during the use of the method of linearly concentrated focusing is shown.
