As a result, laser beam interaction with a material is a complex phenomenon that cannot be treated as a simple thermal process; rather, we must look upon it as an optodynamic process. Optodynamics combines a study of thermal and other effects that are optically induced by laser light; in particular, it relates to the dynamics of material removed and the generation of acoustic waves.
