Abstract
The velocity and angular distributions of the positively charged, negatively charged and neutral products from 308 nm laser ablation of polyimide have been investigated. The differences in the distributions for the three kinds of products can be attributed to the different formation mechanisms. Positive ions are formed in the centre of the laser focus and are ejected with a cos 4θ distribution about the surface normal. Neutral and negatively charged products show a cos θ angular distribution. All products are ejected with supersonic velocities with v positive> v negative> v neutral for a given laser fluence.
