Abstract
We have investigated the physics of the processes of incipient formation, development, and breakdown of vapor-plasma streams formed under the action of high-power (108–109 W/cm2) nanosecond laser pulses on massive metal targets in air. The main theoretical models of the process of laser erosion of metals by nanosecond pulses have been considered. A comparison has been made between the results of experimental and theoretical investigations of the laser erosion processes.
