The photo-induced temperature in multilayer systems is calculated using an original analytical model based on optical/thermal analogies. Various illumination regimes are considered, ranging from ps pulses to a continuous regime, while taking into account a variable repetition rate. The temporal and spatial (3D) resolutions are quantified, and the distributions of temperature and stationary optical field are compared. The temperature spectra are given as a function of the illumination wavelength. Thermal and electromagnetic damage thresholds are compared. Lastly, the thermal fringes resulting from structured optical illumination are studied.
