Lead-sulphide films were deposited on glass substrates by XeCl(308nm) excimer laser ablation of lead target in H2S ambient gas. Series of pulses at the repetition rate of 1HZ were directed to the target surface. The pulse energy was set at about 200mJ/pulse. Pulse duration was about 60ns. The deposited films were characterized by absorption spectroscopy, scanning electron microscopy(SEM) and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy (XPS).
