Abstract
Presently, from the world data available on interaction of laser radiation with metal and dielectric surfaces and development of experimental diagnostic techniques by itself it is possible to raise a reverse question, namely, restoration of laser radiation energy spatial distribution through surface imprint. With this in mind, we have made the detailed morphology of imprint of a pulse HF-laser interaction with carbon steel surface through atomic force microscope. Interaction of the radiation of a relatively short pulse of ArXe-laser ((tau) ½equals400 ns, (lambda) equals1,73 micrometers , Q ~ 20 J/cm+2)) with carbon steel surface of 40X (4140 (USA)) type besides the surface layer hardening leaded to decrease of steel hardness at below original value on depth of about 10 - 12 micrometers . This effect can be related to occurrence of deformation and thermal residual stresses in the subsurface layer. At multiple-pulse interaction (~500 pulses) of UV-laser focused radiation ((lambda) equals0,222 or 0,308 micrometers , (tau) ½equals 12 or 20 ns) with the steel 40X (4140 (USA)) surface a distinct interference imprint of laser beam is formed after diffraction at outer diaphragm being determined by its form.
