Abstract
Optical breakdown and the formation of hot subcritical plasma in the laser plume during nanosecond laser ablation of a graphite target are studied by contact and contactless methods of ultrasound diagnostics. It is shown that optical breakdown of vapors during plasma formation is associated with threshold near-critical explosive boiling of an overheated material melt; further heating of subcritical plasma is described by known dimensional relations.
