Abstract
Systems and methods are provided for laser heating in a fluid environment (). Such a system may include a laser generator () and a laser output sub () separate from one another via an optical fiber (). The laser generator may generate a heating laser pulse over the optical fiber. The laser output sub may emit the heating laser pulse to heat a substrate () in the fluid environment (). To enable the heating laser pulse to pass between the laser output sub () and the substrate (), the laser output sub may dispense a laser-transmissive optical grease or a laser-transmissive magnetic fluid, or may generate a vacuum cavitation bubble in the fluid between the laser output sub () and the substrate ().
