Short pulses of far-UV (193-nm) laser radiation are capable of etching organic polymer films without melting the remaining sample. This process is called ablative photodecomposition. The mechanism that has been proposed for this process attributes ablation to the increase in volume that accompanies the photolysis of the polymer. A model of the microscopic process is presented here.
