A multi-method study of femtosecond laser modification and ablation of amorphous hydrogenated carbon coatings

We report here the optical constants of ECR (MW) and RF generated a-C:H layers before and after laser irradiation. The work is described in the following publication: https://doi.org/10.1007/s00339-024-07980-z The data uploaded are the optical constants (n and k) of the a-C:H layers before (base) and after (ROIx) laser irradiation. Please see the article for the nomenclature of the data and for the methods applied ot produce the layers, laser shots, and OK data.
