Abstract

The study of high-intensity laser radiation interacting with solid materials started at the beginning of laser era, i.e. more than 50 years ago. This interaction was initially described as vaporization, sputtering, desorption, etching or laser ablation. Ablation was used for the first time in connection with lasers for introducing material expulsion by visible-infrared (VIS-IR) sources. The advent of the short pulsed sources in visible and especially ultra-violet has made possible laser ablation deposition, an extremely versatile processing technique. When a high intensity laser pulse hits a solid material, the photons absorption can initiate the melting and local vaporization of the outer layer. A cloud of substance described as plasma plume, consisting of photons, electrons, ions, atoms, molecules, clusters, liquid and/or solid particles, is generated. Next, the plume expands from target surface with high velocity and can either be used to grow a film on a nearby substrate or to analyze its composition by using various spectroscopic techniques. In materials science, pulsed laser action opened a door towards various applications, such as localized melting, laser annealing, surface cleaning by desorption and ablation, and surface hardening by rapid quench. After 1988 pulsed laser deposition (PLD) technologies were applied for synthesizing high quality nanostructured thin films. This chapter reviews important applications of PLD and recent work in the field of biomimetic coatings. Furthermore, technical limitations and possible solutions are outlined. The general characteristics of PLD relevant to solid-state physics, e.g. the initial ablation processes, plume formation and plume characteristics are discussed as well.
