Pulsed laser deposition (PLD) is a conceptually and experimentally simple yet highly versatile tool for thin films and multilayer film research. The mechanisms, advantages and disadvantages of pulsed laser deposition were reviewed. The process and some methods to resolve the drawbacks of PLD were discussed. Pulsed laser deposition of hydroxyapatite thin films was reviewed. Simple adjustment of PLD parameters can deposit hydroxyapatite in situ in crystalline form, amorphous films or HA with other calcium phosphate phases. Compared with plasma sprayed HA coatings the pulsed laser deposition HA thin films have higher coating/substrate adhesion and have minor undesirable phases under optimal conditions. Finally, we suggested some new researches should be done. (c) 2005 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
