Abstract
Measurements of the rate at which 1.05-μm light ablates material from spherical targets are reported for absorbed intensities between 4× and 4× W/. At 4×, the ablation rate is twice as high as has been reported for planar targets. A steady-state model which includes inhibited thermal transport matches the data well.
