Abstract
The dynamics of Newton interference rings appearing in the ablation area on the surface of various condensed media under irradiation with femtosecond laser pulses is analyzed (according to published data on fs ablation). The data on the refractive index evolution in the expanding material cloud from the metal, semiconductor, and dielectric surface, obtained by interference pattern processing. The mechanism of the concentration of the energy absorbed by a medium from the laser beam in the thin layer under the irradiated sample surface is considered. The appearance of the inner layer with increased energy release explains why the ablation process from the metal, semiconductor, and dielectric surface, despite the differences in their compositions and radiation absorption mechanisms, occurs similarly, i.e., with the formation of a thin shell at the outer ablation cloud boundary, which consists of a condensed medium reflecting radiation and, together with the target surface, forms a structure necessary for interference formation.
