Notes:
Characteristic changes in the surface topography due to UV laser treatment are of high significance for the determination of material destruction thresholds and surface structure development. E.g. irradiation of poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) film with pulsed UV laser light of 248 nm modifies the smoth surface of the polymer into a well oriented structured surface. The development of these structures were studied with scanning tunneling microscopy (STM) and high resolution optical profilometry. Three dimensional data of the surface were taken from the samples after each laser pulse. A change of topographic data was found in relation to fluence and number of pulses applied. © 1993 John Wilcy & Sons, Inc.
