It is found that the heat equation in anisotropic media can be simplified to a heat equation in isotropic media by coordinate transformation. The anisotropy of the media can then be reflected by heat source transformation. A general model was derived to calculate the scanning laser-induced temperature rise in anisotropic substrates. The result reveals that the substrate anisotropy affects both the peak temperature rise and the peak position.ArticleA1992JY22700036
