Abstract
We present some calculations of heat flow in an absorbing film deposited on a non-absorbing substrate. The energy source is a Gaussian laser beam. We analyse the effects of film thickness, thermal conductivity, spot radius and forced cooling on the temperature profile and, in a special case, the time evolution of that profile. The emphasis is on applications in optical bistability. © 1987 Springer-Verlag.
