Which outcome occurs when a pulsed laser deposits energy rapidly into a solid?

💡 Explanation

Ablative material removal occurs because the intense energy causes rapid vaporization via the mechanism of photothermal ablation; therefore, material is ejected, rather than a smooth change in refractive index or the coherent phonon generation because the material is immediately ejected.
