All previous sections describe somewhat traditional forms of laser processing in that they
follow the model of PLD, ie, laser/target interaction produce a plume of material that is then …

The matrix-assisted pulsed laser evaporation (MAPLE) technique offers an efficient
mechanism to transfer soft materials from the condensed to the vapor phase, preserving the …

Solid‐state organic amplifiers and lasers are attractive for hybrid integration due to their
compatibility with different material platforms, straightforward processing, and possibility to …

Argon plasma treatment and subsequent atmospheric exposure have been used to
incorporate new oxygen functionalities at the surface of polystyrene (PS) and polypropylene …

A novel variation of conventional pulsed laser evaporation, known as matrix assisted pulsed
laser evaporation, or MAPLE, has been successfully used to deposit highly uniform thin films …

Thin films of crystalline polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) were prepared by pulsed-laser
