Abstract

A simple interferometric method is presented which allows measurement of small vertical displacement of a surface heated by a laser beam. Calculations applied to a silicon crystal in the case of a c.w. laser show reasonable agreement with experiment. The method can be applied to assess surface temperature and thermal constants.
