Algorithms for quantitative diagnosis of optical heterogeneities by means of laser refractography

  • Published:
Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

The basic principles of a new measurement technology, that of laser refractography, intended for visualization and quantitative diagnostics of transparent optically heterogeneous media are described. Algorithms for processing experimental refractographic patterns and for establishing the profile of an heterogeneity are presented. Results of measurements of the temperature distribution in a spherical boundary layer on a heated sphere in water are presented. An estimator of the measurement error is presented.
