Look for, for example "Plasma Mirror Laser". Some early articles in the '90's by for ex. P. Mulser. Also an extensive book in romanian (maybe also russian) on the subject, about 1986: Ursu, I., Mihailescu, I.N., Prokhorov, A.M., Konov, V.I. (1986) Interactiunea radiatiei laser cu metalele, in Editura Academiei R.S.R., Bucuresti, (in Romanian, title translates to "Laser radiation interaction with metals"). For a more recent article by romanian team, see "Effect of laser fluence on the ablation rate of metals in the infrared, visible, and ultraviolet nanosecond pulses irradiation regime", ICALEO 2008, P130 (2008); https://doi.org/10.2351/1.5061437, by Mihai State, Ionut Vladoiu, Constantin Negutu, and Ion M. Popescu.
