INFLUENCE OF LASER WAVELENGTH TO NANOPARTICLES GENERATION by Alexandru Mihai Iamandi, Liviu Daniel Ghiculescu, Alexandru Dan, Anca Criveanu, Nicu Doinel Scarisoreanu

“…Conversely, longer wavelengths, such as those in the infrared (IR) range, are less absorbed by many materials and liquids, often producing larger particles with broader size distributions [3]. The selection of wavelength also affects secondary processes such as bubble formation, shockwave propagation, and plasma plume dynamics, which play significant roles in particle size, morphology, and composition [4]. …”
