Abstract

We propose and study a novel optoelectronic device for thermal characterization of materials. It is based on monitoring the photothermal deflection of a laser beam within a slab of a thermo-optic material in thermal contact with the material under study. An optical angle sensor is used to measure the laser deflection providing a simple and compact experimental arrangement. We demonstrate the principle of operation of the sensor and simple procedure that can be used to measure thermal effusivity of liquids. The proposed device could be implemented into a compact sensor head for remote measurements using electrical and fiber optic links.
