Hi, I am wondering if anyone here has a way to calculate the surface temperature of an object as it gets hit by a radiation (laser) pulse of known power and duration, (and wavelength...). Thanks.
Temperature due to laser pulse refers to the increase in temperature of a material caused by the absorption of energy from a laser pulse. This increase in temperature can be localized to a specific area, making it useful for precise heating applications.
The temperature due to laser pulse can be measured using a variety of techniques, including infrared thermography, thermocouples, and thermoreflectance. These methods allow for accurate temperature measurements at different depths and time scales.
Several factors can influence the temperature due to laser pulse, including the laser power, pulse duration, repetition rate, beam diameter, and material properties such as absorption coefficient and thermal conductivity.
The localized heating provided by temperature due to laser pulse has a wide range of applications, including laser cutting, welding, and drilling in industrial processes. It is also used in medical treatments, such as laser surgery and skin resurfacing.
The temperature due to laser pulse can be controlled by adjusting the laser parameters, such as power, duration, and repetition rate, as well as the material properties and the cooling method used. Advanced control techniques, such as feedback control and adaptive optics, can also be implemented for precise temperature control.
