The thermal waves induced by ultra-short laser pulses in n-dimensional space-time

In this paper the heat waves, induced by ultra-short laser pulses are considered. The hyperbolic heat transport in n-dimensional space-time is formulated and solved. It is shown that only for n-odd for heat waves the Huygens principle is fulfilled. The heat transport experiment for Cu_3Au alloy is considered. Key words: Hyperbolic heat transport; Thermal waves; Huygens principle; Cu_3Au alloy.
