Abstract
The substrate shall be an infinite slab of uniform thickness, h s, that is irradiated by a cw- or pulsed-laser beam which is either focused or extended over a wider area (Fig. 6.1.1). For localized irradiation, the absorbed laser light generates a local temperature rise, ΔT(x, t), which can be calculated by solving the three-dimensional heat equation (2.2.1). For large-area (uniform) irradiation, the temperature is uniform within planes z = const., and the temperature rise, ΔT (z, t), can be calculated by solving the one-dimensional heat equation.
