Abstract
The thermal effect of a ruby lased on glass substrates coated by different thin metal films of silver, copper, aluminum, nickel, chromium and antimony is studied. It is shown that the depression in the damaged area is linearly dependent on the thickness of the metal films as well as on their thermal conductivities. The depressions are found to be greater than those produced in uncoated glass
