D. Vandembroucq et Ac. Boccara, MODEL AND EXPERIMENTAL LOCAL STUDY OF THE TEMPERATURE-FIELD OF A ROUGH-SURFACE, Progress in Natural Science, 6, 1996, pp. 313-316
From an existing IR microscope, we have built an experiment allowing u
s to measure simultaneously the height and the local temperature of a
rough material heated by a modulated focused laser beam. Roughness pro
file and temperature field appear to be strongly correlated. We propos
e a theoretical interpretation of this phenomenon, based on a conforma
l mapping method.
