We study the motion morphology, distance, and velocity of plasma and laser-induced shock waves induced by a millisecond-nanosecond (ms-ns) combined-pulse laser with different pulse delays on silicon. The laser shadowgraph method is used, and the phenomenon of double laser-induced shock waves has been found while the pulse delay is 1.2-1.

During the interaction between the laser and aluminum alloy, the coupling effect of the nanosecond pulse laser on the molten pool formed by the millisecond laser is analyzed. During the nanosecond laser irradiation in the combined approach, the expansion velocity of the plasma plume reaches 600 m/s, while the laser ablation depth increased by approximately 9 times.
