Claims

C1strongest claim

By distributing the pulse energy into a sequence of picosecond sub-pulses arriving within the nanosecond time window preceding cavitation bubble formation, GHz-burst irradiation enables energy delivery before the onset of bubble-induced shielding. This increases the threshold fluence for nonlinear losses and yields an ablation efficiency enhancement of up to a factor of three compared to single-pulse ablation. In addition, burst irradiation yields a twofold narrower nanoparticle size distribution.

C2weakest assumption

The timing window for sub-pulses is assumed to deliver energy before cavitation bubble shielding begins without introducing new loss channels such as cumulative heating or altered plasma dynamics that could offset the gain.

C3one line summary

GHz-burst irradiation triples ablation efficiency and narrows gold nanoparticle size distribution twofold in water without increasing cavitation bubble size or lifetime.
