Abstract
One of the major goals of physics and so as ours in case of laser in particular and its interaction with materials is to understand the nature of light. Due to the complex nature of light, this goal is very difficult to fully achieve, but this complication means that light offers many opportunities for different applications including optical interferences and in our case response of materials to laser radiation and its interaction with matter and specifically metallic materials. This leads to dealing with heat conduction equation in a very complex form; therefore we need to deal with heat transport from aspects of conduction, convection, and radiation.
