Abstract
The behaviour of conduction heat transfer in a metallic film irradiated by a laser pulse with Gaussian temporal profile is investigated by using the thermal wave model. Calculations are performed to describe the propagation and reflection of a temperature wave and heat flux through the film. The temperature response at the front surface obtained from the thermal wave model is compared with that from the microscopic two-step conduction model by considering a real situation that a Cu film is irradiated by a picosecond laser pulse.
