Abstract

Increasing absorption of 10.6 μm laser radiation by Cu and Al surfaces pretreated with excimer laser pulses has been measured. The effective coupling is shown to approach 100% under certain irradiation conditions. This increased absorption arises from a combination of excimer roughening and oxidation.
