During ablation the workpiece is molten by a CO2-laser beam, this melt is then driven out by the impulse of a process gas. The idea behind laser ablation is rather simple, but it has a major limitation in practical applications: with increasing ablation rates surface quality of the workpiece processed declines rapidly. At high ablation rates, depending on the process parameters different periodic-like structures can be observed on the ablated surface. These structures show a dependence on the line energy, which has been identified as a fundamental control parameter. In dependence on this parameter several regimes with different behaviours of the process have been separated. These regimes are distinguishable as well in the surfaces obtained as in the signals gained by the measurement of the process emissions. Further aim is to identify the different modes of the system and reach a deeper understanding of the dynamics of the molten material in order to understand the formation of these surface structures. With this it should be possible to influence the system in the direction of avoiding structure formation even at high ablation rates. Relying on the results on-line monitoring and control of the process should be studied.}, language = {en} } @article{ThielRomanoSchwarzetal.2001, author = {Thiel, Marco and Romano, Maria Carmen and Schwarz, Udo and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Hasinger, G{\"u}nther and Belloni, Tomaso}, title = {Nonlinear Time series analysis of the X-ray flux of compact objects}, issn = {0004-640x}, year = {2001}, abstract = {We analyse the X-ray light curves of compact objects using linear and nonlinear time series analysis methods.

We show in terms of correlation functions that this model describes main dynamical properties of the runoff, especially the delay between rain event and runoff response as the annual persistence in the runoff data.}, language = {en} } @article{PalusKurthsSchwarzetal.2001, author = {Palus, Milan and Kurths, J{\"u}rgen and Schwarz, Udo and Novotn{\´a}, Dagmar and Charv{\´a}tov{\´a}, Ivanka}, title = {Is the solar activity cycle synchronized with the solar inertial motion?}, year = {2001}, abstract = {The 300 year record of the yearly sunspot numbers and numerically generated trajectory of the solar inertial motion (SIM) were subjects of a synchronization analysis.
