Simulation Software for Laser Heating of Multilayer Stacks

 

Example 3. User-defined Laser Beam Profile

 

In this example the quadrilayer stack is illuminated by a user-defined laser beam profile incident from the surface side.

Calculated profiles of temperature versus z are shown in Figure�(a), and isotherms in the XY-plane at z�=�108�nm appear in Fig.�(b).

Shown below is the file TR03.SYS, which contains the structural parameters of the multilayer stack, the laser beam profile, and the chosen mesh parameters.

(a) Profiles of temperature versus z at (x,�y) = (0,�0) computed at several instants of time.

(b) Isotherms in the XY-plane at z�=�108�nm, time�=�50�ns. The hottest spot at the center has temperature T�=�237.15�C (above ambient). The plotted isotherms, starting in the middle and moving outward, correspond to T�=�237�C, 230�C, 220�C, 210�C, 200�C, 180�C, 160�C, 140�C, 120�C, and 100�C.
