Abstract

Femtosecond lasers are widely used in scientific research and modern technologies. When applied to metals, ultrashort optical laser radiation produces a pronounced two-temperature state with hot electrons: Te >> Ti, where Te and Ti are the temperatures of the electron and lattice subsystems. Our experimental measurements were carried out using phase-sensitive (lock-in) detection technique on bulk and film (100 nm thick) gold targets. Due to the fact that in our experiments the repetition rate of heating (pump) pulses was reduced to 31 Hz, we were able to reach lattice temperatures near the melting point of gold. This occurs at the exit of the two-temperature stage in bulk targets. As we know, at the end of this stage, the temperatures converge, Te ≈ Ti. In bulk targets, at the highest fluences we achieved, the peak electron temperature increases to values around 20 kK. Theoretical calculations available in the literature give certain dependences for the electron-phonon coupling parameter a and the electron thermal conductivity coefficient k; they are the key parameters that characterize the two-temperature state. Our experiments showed that in the range of fluences with peak temperatures Te above 10 kK and up to 20 kK, the measured values of a and k are significantly lower than than the values given by theories. Below this range of fluences, i.e., when the peak Te is less than 10 kK, our measured values are in agreement with previous data. This is the first result of the paper. In addition, it is shown that at one-temperature stage, when the thermal energy stored in the electrons is very small, there is a significant influence of the fundamentally two-temperature coefficient a on heat transfer from the skin layer. This is due to the relatively small thickness of the heated layer, which is of the order of 200-300 nm in gold.
