a, c, and e are the three-dimensional color maps of the energy density distribution, temperature distribution and the ΔzT, for the top-light configuration with a large-spot size, respectively. b, d, and f show the corresponding bottom-light simulation results. The ΔzT are plotted as a function of distance from the interface for (g) top-light and (h) bottom-light configurations, respectively.
