ABSTRACTThe frequency of the phonon line in the Raman scattering spectrum recorded during CW laser-beam heating of Si was used as a characteristic of the lattice temperature inside the laser spot. It is shown that Raman scattering is a good temperature probe up to the laser power approaching optical damage of Si.
