Intense Light And Water A Handbook on Physics And Applications of Photonic Processing of Materials in Water

"Introduced at the end of the 1980's, neutral liquid-assisted laser processing (LALP) has proven to be advantageous in the cutting of heat-sensitive materials, shock peening of machine parts, cleaning of surfaces, fabrication of micro-optical components, and for the generation of nanoparticles in liquids. The liquids used range from water through organic solvents to cryoliquids. This book covers the use of chemically inert liquids under normal conditions. Laser chemical processing examples are presented for comparison only." "The primary aim of the book is to present the essentials of previous research (tabulated data of experimental conditions and results), and to contribute to the development of new processing and diagnostics techniques (data of liquids and review of physical phenomena at LALP are included)."--BOOK JACKET.Kruusing, Arvi is the author of 'Intense Light And Water A Handbook on Physics And Applications of Photonic Processing of Materials in Water' with ISBN 9780080444987 and ISBN 0080444989.
