Abstract
This lecture deals with physical processes induced by short (e.g. 50 ns) laser pulses in composite samples. We look at three different kinds of samples:
The heat produced upon absorption of the laser pulse causes melting in a thin surface layer. While the pulse lasts, a melt front penetrates into the solid. After the pulse, heat is conducted away by the solid substrate and the melt front returns to the surface. This sequence of events can be divided into 3 parts:
