For many industry branches the thickness control of a covering different type, for example, antistain, varnish covering in the process of their coatication on a metal in motor-car industry is actual. Control methods of such type covering must be undestructive and differ by the high fast-acting at covering research on objects that is moving with certain speed.Today for the noncontact measurement of covering thinkness in industry the methods that are based on registration of the induced heat-waves by the powerful laser impulse radiation are widely used. Such methods require the long time of measurement (few seconds) that complicate their use for the covering control on moved objects.In the given work the high speed photothermal method is offered. In this method a photothermal response in time after the irradiation of sample by one short impulse is registered.For method realization the heat distribution theory in sandwich-type systems is developed and software for the design of thermal responce after laser impulse irradiation (with given parameters) on such systems is created. Fig.1 shows the simulated temporal changes of temperature on the surface of steel sample that covered by one varnish layer after its irradiation by 0.1 ps laser impulse with energy density of 1 Dg/sm*.

The proposed technique is targeted at high accuracy measurement of absorbing ability of optical materials with use of laser interferometer calorimetry. The mathematical model of estimating of thermal fields, which arise in a sample at partial absorption of powerful laser radiation allows us to divide influence of coefficients of superficial and volumetric absorption Using the high capacity CO-laser for material heating makes it possible to reach measurement sensitivity of (1W3 ÷ 10') cm' of measuring of absorption coefficients of optically transparent materials. The separation of superficial and volumetric absorption allows to test quality of processing of optical elements, and thus, to predict beam durability of materials, avoiding to their physical destruction.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
