A Novel “Flying-Spot” Infrared Camera for Imaging Very Fast Thermal-Wave Phenomena

  • Conference paper

Abstract

We describe the development of a “Flying-Spot” laser-source/IR-detector camera in which an unmodulated laser heating spot scans the sample in a raster. The detector tracks the heating spot in the same raster, but with a time delay, thus forming an image with a very short time between the application of the heat source and the detection of the thermal waves.
