We have developed an optical technique for in situ measurement of temporal change and spacial profile of Si lattice temperature during cw laser annealing. This technique utilizes time-dependent optical interference in Si films on insulator. By using a microscope for focusing a laser probe beam to 2.0 µm, time-resolved and space-resolved Si lattice-temperatures were measured below the melting point (1412 °C) on a time scale of 10−4–100 s during cw laser annealing of Si on sapphire
