Laser Induced Plasma

Laser-induced plasma occurs when a powerful laser beam targets a material, ionizing its atoms and molecules. The laser's energy rapidly heats and vaporizes the surface, creating a hot, ionized cloud of electrons and ions called plasma. This plasma glows brightly and expands outward. It's used in applications like material processing, medical treatments, and scientific research. The process allows precise energy delivery, enabling detailed modifications or analysis of the targeted material without significant damage to surrounding areas.
