Set of numerical models for the characterization of laser processing applications

A set of numerical models for the characterization of laser processing applications is developed. The main physical and calculational features of these models are given along with some results on their comparison to experimental data and other well established theoretical models. Special emphasis is made on the suitability of the set of models for applications design and practical implementation.© (1993) COPYRIGHT SPIE--The International Society for Optical Engineering.
