High power density laser estimation using quantitative thermal imaging method
Résumé
The knowledge of the amplitude and the spatial distribution of an excitation flux is of great interest for the quantification of heat sources. In this work, the development of a non-contact imaging powermeter based on the association of a bolometer with an infrared camera is described. This powermeter allows, thanks to infrared thermographic measurements and image processing methods, the quantitative estimation of the spatial distribution of the power of the flux delivered by a high-power laser. First, the experimental setup used is described. Then, the complete model- ling of the heat transfer within the bolometer using the 3D thermal quadrupole formalism is presented. After that, an inverse method based on the Wiener filter in Fourier-Laplace transform spaces to estimate the spatial distribution of the power flux is described. Finally, power estimation results using two metallic plates as a bolometer are presented and discussed
