Ablation threshold fluence

{
  "id": "MLC-T-CHM-012830",
  "term": "Ablation threshold fluence",
  "field": "Chemistry",
  "definition": "The minimum energy density of a laser pulse required to initiate measurable material removal from a surface. This value is specific to the material and the laser parameters, such as wavelength and pulse duration. Exceeding this fluence causes the material to vaporize or eject, forming a crater.",
