Heating by Laser Light

  • Chapter
Book cover Laser-Beam Interactions with Materials

Part of the book series: Springer Series in Materials Science ((SSMATERIALS,volume 2))

Abstract

Heat treatments serve a wide range of purposes in today’s material technology. Examples include softening or hardening of metals, “annealing” of crystals, dopant diffusion in semiconductors, compound formation in mixtures or thin-film couples, oxide-layer growth, polymerization of plastics and many others. The use of lasers as heat sources in place of furnaces is being adopted or explored in a growing number of heat-treatment processes. What advantages do lasers have to recommend them for the job?
