For laser ablation propulsion, the shielding effect of ablation plume on the incident laser is an essential factor affecting the propulsion performance. When the polymer doped metal is utilized as the propellant, the shielding effect would be more significant because the metal dopant is easily ionized. In order to study the shielding effect of ablation plume on the incident laser energy, a laser ablation model with taking into account the plume expansion, ionization and the shielding effect is built in the present work. For the polyoxymethylene doped aluminum particles irradiated by a laser with a fluence of 3-40 J/cm2, the specific impulse of laser ablation is calculated, and the consistency of the numerical results with the experimental data demonstrates the availability of the model. Furthermore, the effects of both the incompletely decomposed polymer chains and the plasma induced by laser ablation on the incident laser are considered. The time variations of electron number density distribution under different laser fluences are calculated based on the laser induced ionization model. Subsequently, the absorption coefficient distributions and the time variations of shielding coefficient under different laser fluences are obtained. The results show that at a low laser fluence (5 J/cm2), the electron number density is small, so the plume shielding effect is dominated by the laser energy absorption of the small polymer chains which are not completely decomposed. While at a high laser fluence (20 J/cm2), small polymer chains are almost completely decomposed into atoms even plasma, hence the shielding effect is dominated by the plasma since the electron number density in the plume increases up to 1020 m-3, and the complicated characteristic in the time variation of shielding coefficient appears. The quantitative analysis results obtained in the present work can be helpful for optimizing the performances of laser ablation propulsion.
