Abstract

The time resolved optical transmission, T (atλ = 1152 nm), and reflectivity, R (at 633 nm and 1152 nm), have been measured for n-type single crystalline silicon (c-Si) during and immediately after pulsed ruby laser irradiation (λ = 693 nm, FWHM pulse duration 14 nsec), for a range of pulsed laser energy densities, El. The T is found to go to zero, and to remain at zero, for a period of time that increases with increasing El, in apparent disagreement with earlier measurements elsewhere that used semi-insulating Si and a different pulsed laser wavelength. Measured reflectivities during the high R phase agree within experimental error with reflectivities calculated from the optical constants of molten Si. Quantitative agreement is also found between both our T and R measurements and detailed time– and El-dependent results of thermal melting model calculations.
