“…The double beam thermal lens setup was used to measure the thermal diffusivity of Pt-NPs/GO composite. The set up ( Figure 14) contains a He-Ne laser ( 632.8 nm and 0.5 mW, model: R-31003, Newport, Irvine, CA, USA), a high-power solid-state laser (532 nm at 80 mW, model: LRS-0532, Laserglow Technology, Toronto, Canada) two lenses, a beam splitter, a silicon detector (model: 818-SL, Newport, Irvine, CA, USA), chopper (Stanford research, RS540, Sunnyvale, CA, USA) and the Lock-in amplifier [49]. The solid-state laser and He-Ne laser were used as an excitation light and as a probing beam, respectively.…”
