Abstract
Finite element techniques are used to calculate the thermal stresses generated in single-layer, optical storage thin films. The calculations predict that the thermal stresses generated by laser heating may reach values well beyond the strength of the media in times much less than that for pit formation by melting. Both dye-polymer and metal-based systems are considered with either air or substrate incident laser sources.This publication has 7 references indexed in Scilit:
