    Summary
    A new ablation target geometry is presented that was used to produce thin films of La1-xSrxMnO3 grown heteroepitaxially on SrTiO3 by pulsed reactive crossed-beam laser ablation. The films were grown in order to perform angle-resolved photoelectron spectroscopy, which demands that the surface be atomically flat. In situ and ex situ analysis shows that this condition was met, even after depositing to a thickness of over 100nm
