COATINGS CHARACTERIZATIONS BY THE MIRAGE EFFECT AND THE PHOTOTHERMAL MICROSCOPE

Abstract
The mirage effect and the photothermal microscope are totally optical methods able to measure without any contact optical and thermal properties of coatings. Very simple in their principle the methods are described precisely by theoretical models and thus are quantitative. Bulk as well as localized measurements (spatial resolutions about 1 µm can be achieved) illustrate the main applications : very weak absorption detection, spectra of semiconductors films, non destructive testing
