Detection of Mechanical Deformation Induced by Ultrafast Laser Irradiation Upon a Metallic Cantilever
Detection of Mechanical Deformation Induced by Ultrafast Laser Irradiation Upon a Metallic Cantilever
In this work, we systematically investigated the ultrafast optical properties of aluminum (Al) thin films on silicon cantilevers using a microscopic femtosecond optical pump-probe technique to explore the effect of light irradiation upon cantilevers while considering radiation pressure and photothermal effects. The ultrafast laser pulses used for the study were …
