Abstract

This paper gives an analysis of the possibility of attenuating the pulsed light fluxes of reflective surfaces by subjecting them to nanosize deformations excited by powerful pulsed laser radiation. The proposed physical model is used as a basis for discussing the thermophysical aspects of the appearance of thermally induced deformations, the characteristic times of their existence, and the functional characteristics when they interact with optical radiation.
