11. To estimate the time scale for the process of local heating, we solved the heat equation for semi infinite media, heated by a Gaussian laser beam. The thermal diffusivity, thermal conductivity and the reflectivity were taken as constant and corresponding to those for silicon at room temperature or at 1400 °C. In the most unfavorable case the temperature reaches the equilibrium value within less then 10 ms. This time interval is much smaller than the intervals usually needed to record a Raman spectrum.
