摘要

In this work, we extend the classical flash method to retrieve simultaneously the thermal diffusivity and the optical absorption coefficient of semitransparent plates. A complete theoretical model that allows calculating the rear surface temperature rise of the sample has been developed. It takes into consideration additional effects such as multiple reflections of the heating light beam inside the sample, heat losses by convection and radiation, transparency of the sample to infrared wavelengths and finite duration of the heating pulse. Measurements performed on calibrated solids, covering a wide range of absorption coefficients from transparent to opaque, validate the proposed method.
