Which effect occurs when a pulsed laser ablates glass?

A)Rapid plasma formation and material ejection
B)Uniform heating and thermal expansion
C)Controlled recrystallization, improved hardness
D)Stable structural phase transformation occurs

💡 Explanation

Laser ablation results in plasma formation because rapid energy deposition drives intense ionization; therefore, material is ejected as plasma rather than undergoing thermal expansion because the laser pulse duration is shorter than the heat diffusion timescale.
