The complex of experimental installations for studying of laser radiation interaction with surface of metals has been established. At titanium surface irradiating depending on the accumulated laser radiation energy, the surface color might be changed from bright yellow to red and deep-blue colors. The presented results testify to the possibility to use the change of titanium surface color at heating by laser irradiation in the open air to obtain dot raster images. Presently, form the world data available on interaction of laser radiation with metal and dielectric surfaces and development of experimental diagnostics techniques by itself it is allowed to raise a reverse question, i.e., restoration of laser radiation energy spatial distribution through surface imprint. Using imprints, it is also possible to make an express diagnostics of multi-layer surface coatings. With this in mind, we have made the detailed morphology of imprint of the pulsed HF-laser interaction with carbon steel surface through atomic force microscope.
