Laser Thermal measures thermal conductivity, thermal diffusivity, and thermal boundary resistance across materials ranging from sub-micron thin films to bulk solids, liquids, pastes, coatings, and complex assemblies. Many of our techniques use one-sided, non-contact optical measurements, making them well suited for valuable prototypes and enabling most measurements to be performed non-destructively. These approaches are also particularly effective for characterizing heterogeneous and anisotropic materials.
The appropriate measurement technique and achievable measurement range depend on your material, geometry, thickness, thermal conductivity, and engineering question. This range is possible because our platforms, FASTR and TOPS, were designed around these material classes directly, rather than extending general-purpose instruments to cover them. Our team evaluates each project and recommends the measurement approach best suited to your application. If you believe your material is outside of a certain property range, please still contact us as we are continuously pushing the limits of our instruments.
