  • Method and device for structural, superficial and deep analysis of a body
    Patent number: 4557607
    Abstract: A method for the structural, superficial and deep analysis of a body is disclosed. The method includes scanning the body to be examined using a modulated excitation radiation beam so as to impart a thermal modulation to the body. The thermal modulation is then measured on the side of the body distal to the side exposed to the beam. The amplitude as well as the phase of the measured thermal modulation is used to determine the thickness and structure of the body. A device for accomplishing the above described method is also disclosed.

  • System for measuring the radiation power of power-modulated transmitters, in particular of lasers
    Patent number: 4344172
    Abstract: A system for measuring the radiation power of power-modulated transmitters, in particular of lasers, includes an opto-acoustical converter converting the radiation modulation into gas-pressure modulation. The components of the opto-acoustical converter disposed in the radiation path are virtually completely transparent or reflecting for the radiation to be measured.
