Amorphous silicon (a-Si) layers formed by femtosecond laser processing can influence the absorption of subsequent laser pulses. In this study, we performed first-principles calculations based on time-dependent density functional theory (TDDFT) for 512-atom a-Si models prepared with different cooling rates and investigated the relationship between structural distortion and optical energy absorption. The results show that the absorbed energy depends more strongly on network-scale structural features, such as bond-angle distortion, than on the concentration of coordination defects.
