Abstract
The spatial distribution of the temperature rise induced by a laser beam absorbed in a solid is reduced to a one-dimensional integral which is evaluated numerically. The solution for a general laser intensity distribution is specialized to the case of a Gaussian beam. A closed-form expression in terms of tabulated functions is obtained for the maximum temperature rise.This publication has 0 references indexed in Scilit:
