Time-resolved optical transmission of pulsed laser-irradiated silicon

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5364987
The time-resolved optical transmission of silicon has been observed at lambda = 1.15 microns during irradiation by an 8 nsec pulsed laser at 485 nm with several energy densities in the range of .25 to 1.2 J/sq cm. The transmission exhibits a sudden brief drop consistent with the rise and fall of the reflectivity enhancement. However, the transmission does not exhibit the strong absorption expected of molten silicon with a skin depth of approx. 100A.
