Abstract
n this article we discuss the implementation of a finite-difference time-domain simulation method, which describes thermal diffusion and elastic dynamics induced by an ultrashort laser-pulse. Besides the pseudocode, we provide an example in which numerical results are compared with experimental data, showing excellent agreement.
