ABSTRACT:
A sequence of temporally-spaced radiant energy pulses are applied to the front surface of the sample and the heat rise caused by each thermal pulse is measured at the second surface using a suitable thermocouple or infrared sensor. The temperature rise data for each pulse is digitized and stored in a two-state memory device such as a random access memory. The data from each successive pulse is coadded and statistically processed by averaging to derive a set of favored values indicative of the temperature of the sample as a function of time. The favored values data is further processed using a least squares curve fitting algorithm to determine a numerical value indicative of the diffusivity of the sample.
