Absorption coefficient of nearly transparent liquids measured using thermal lens spectrometry
نویسندگان
چکیده
We use an optimized pump-probe mode-mismatched thermal lens scheme to determine the optical absorption coefficient and thermal diffusivity of ethanol, benzene, acetone, methanol, toluene and chloroform. In this scheme the excitation beam is focused in the presence of a collimated probe beam. The agreement between experimentally obtained results and values reported in the literature is good.

Determination of absorption coefficient by digital holographic measurement of optical excitation.
Digital holographic microscopy produces quantitative phase analysis of a specimen with excellent optical precision. In this study, this imaging method has been used to observe and measure induced thermal lensing by optical excitation. Previous studies have derived these phase shifts from intensity profiles for the determination of photothermal properties of very transparent materials. We have m...
متن کاملHigh-precision method for measuring the photothermal properties of transparent media with digital holography
Quantitative phase microscopy by digital holography provides direct access to the phase profile of a transparent subject with high precision. This is useful for observing phenomena that modulate phase, but are otherwise difficult or impossible to detect. In this letter, a carefully constructed digital holographic apparatus is used to measure optically induced thermal lensing with an optical pat...

The pool boiling heat transfer coefficient of pure liquids were experimentally measured on a horizontal bar heater at atmospheric pressure. These measurements were conducted for more than three hundred data in thermal currents up to 350 kW.m-2. Original correlations and the unique effect of these correlations on experimental data were discussed briefly. According to the analysis, a new empirica...

متن کاملMeasurement of the thermo-optic coefficient in liquids by laser-induced conical diffraction and thermal lens techniques
We report on a method to determine the temperature coefficient of the refractive index (dn/dT ) for non-fluorescent liquids which is based on the experimental observation of conical diffraction induced by self-phase modulation (SPM). Light absorbing impurities were added to allow for heat deposition by the excitation laser beam. We studied samples of tetrahydrofuran (THF, C4H8O) and toluene (C6...
