woodchips said: 1 Why do you ask for LASER absorption specifically? A laser emits light. So what matters directly is light absorption by the material in question.An important factor would seem to be the ability of the material to absorb the energy. Since any light energy absorbed will be converted into heat, how rapidly can the material conduct that heat away from this location will impact whether the material will melt, burn, vaporize, or simply get a bit warmer. As well, one must consider the power of the laser itself, plus the exposure time.So there are many issues here that make your question too non-specific to answer. 53 months ago
