Most laser ablation processes are performed on a solid material in a vacuum environment, but a different method has emerged that ablates solid materials submerged in a liquid into nanomaterial dispersions. This method is known as laser ablation in a liquid environment (LALE) or pulsed laser ablation in liquid (PLAL).
