Which effect arises when a high-powered laser ablates material?

💡 Explanation

Plasma forms because the laser's high energy causes rapid ionization; this is known as optical breakdown. The increased kinetic energy of the atoms leads to plasma formation, rather than other effects like surface smoothing, therefore causing high energy plasma.
