Series of time-resolved photographs showing the pallet release dynamics using a single 6-ns laser pulse. Pallets are 50 μm in size. The formation of a plasma, followed by the emission of a shock wave, emergence of vapor from under the pallet, and pallet release are all visible on the nanosecond to microsecond time scale.
