The response of three of the most used commercial polymers (poly(vinyl chloride) (PVC), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET) and polypropylene (PP)) with different thermal properties under irradiation with high frequency (1 kHz-1 MHz) femtosecond (450 fs) multi-pulse (N=10-1500) laser at λ=515 (1.34 J/cm2) and 1030 (1.70 J/cm2) is reported. Thermal and ablative effects are observed after laser irradiations. The results are compared to a photothermal model that pretends to explain the heat accumulation effect of successive pulses irradiation. Thermal analyses (Modulated Differential Scanning Calorimetry (MDSC) and Thermogravimetry (TG)) are performed and utilized to explain the different behaviour of each polymer. Three different regimes (non-thermal, thermal and saturation) are identified and explained from the model and experimental results. A connection between ablation depth and simulated reached temperature is established. Further studies as micro-Raman analyses on the irradiated area and the dependence of damaged area on the repetition rate are being performed.
