Abstract
Conical features produced on excimer laser ablated polymers are shown to provide a sensitive technique for determining ablation thresholds. This has been applied to polyimide, polyethylene terephthalate, polyethylene, and nylon 66 ablated using the 157 nm vacuum ultraviolet F2 laser.Keywords
