Which outcome results when a pulsed laser erodes a solid target?

💡 Explanation

Plasma ablated from the metal leads to material ejection due to a process called 'laser-induced breakdown spectroscopy'. This rapidly heats the material, leading to ionization and forming plasma, therefore causing ablation rather than increased conductivity, phase changes, or transparency under these high-energy conditions.
