laser heating

Laser heating involves directing focused laser light onto a material, where the energy from the laser is absorbed and converted into heat. This process allows precise control of temperature and heating location, making it useful for applications like material processing, scientific experiments, and medical treatments. The amount of heat generated depends on the laser's power, wavelength, and exposure time, as well as the material's properties. Laser heating can achieve rapid, localized temperature increases without affecting surrounding areas, enabling efficient and targeted thermal modifications.
