The optical emission of PMMA plasma is found quite intense and dominated by vibrational band of CN molecules (violet band, B^2∑^+ - X^2∑^+) at 388.4 nm. The temporal response of the CN band emission is studied and found decay time 22 ns. The low decay time and small laser spot (34 × 32 μm^2) conf'n-ms good thermal stability of PMMA. To get structural fingerprint of PMMA, Raman spectrum is recorded prior to the exposure to laser. Several sharp Raman peaks have been observed along with a very intense peak at 2,957 cm1 attributed to C-H stretching vibration. Post exposure Raman spectrum is also recorded to analyze the heating effect and re-deposition of ablated material.展开更多
