Abstract
The interaction of XeF laser radiation at 353 nm with an aluminum target in air at reduced (0.1 Torr) and ambient pressures has been studied. The thermal coupling at moderate fluxes (106–108 W/cm2) and long pulse length at 0.1 Torr was found to be ∼20%. Impulse coupling was also determined.Keywords
