We consider a general problem of laser pulse heating of spherical metal particles with the sizes ranging from nanometers to millimeters. We employ the exact Mie solutions of the diffraction problem and solve heat-transfer equations to determine the maximum temperature at the particle surface as a function of optical and thermometric parameters of the problem. The main attention is paid to the case when the thermometric conductivity of the particle is much larger than that of the environment, as it is in the case of metal particles in fluids. We show that in this case at any given finite duration of the laser pulse the maximum temperature rise as a function of the particle size reaches an absolute maximum at a certain finite size of the particle, and we suggest simple approximate analytical expressions for this dependence which covers the entire range of variations of the problem parameters and agree well with direct numerical simulations.
