Time-stepping for laser ablation

Harihar Khanal, David Autrique, Vasilios Alexiades

Abstract:
Nanosecond laser ablation is a popular technique, applied in many areas of science and technology such as medicine, archaeology, chemistry, environmental and materials sciences. We outline a computational model for radiative and collisional processes occurring during ns-laser ablation, and compare the performance of various low and high order time-stepping algorithms.
