Abstract

We present an experimental method, based on the isothermal nature of the boundaries of explosively crystallized silicon, to display instantaneous isotherms produced by fast scanning laser beams. This method is especially useful for the case of multilayer structures or complex geometries, where thermal profiles simulation is a difficult problem. We can also obtain directly a measure of the spatial intensity distribution in the laser beam.
