Abstract
The results of the numerical analysis of the effects induced by pulsed Nd:YAG and ruby laser on Hg0.8Cd0.2Te are presented. The proposed model facilitates the planning of HgCdTe laser processing and the choice of the processing parameters such as: melt depth, melt duration of the surface layer and melt front velocity, as well as the irradiation parameters. The influence of the optical parameters and the temperature dependence of the HgCdTe thermal parameters on the results of laser irradiation are specially analyzed.
