The ablation of solids by high energy femtosecond pulses from an extreme ultraviolet (XUV) free electron laser has been investigated using picosecond optical imaging. The time-resolved measurements are supplemented by an analysis of the permanent structural surface modifications. Compared with femtosecond optical excitation, distinct differences in the material response are found which are attributed to the increased penetration depth of the XUV radiation and the absence of any absorption nonlinearities.
