In this study, we report the first measurements of wavelength and pulse length dependence of ablation thresholds in glassy As2Se3. Ablation yields, obtained from time-of-flight spectra were compared to laser intensity curves to obtain laser ablation thresholds. The wavelength dependence of the ablat...
