Abstract

The excimer laser ablation of glass fiber in reinforced polymer was studied. The fibers were found to be acting as refocusing lenses and caused partial fiber removal within the fiber. An analytical analysis based on Snell's law of refraction was used to calculate the laser intensity within the fiber and the results of which were able to explain the partial removal phenomenon.
