Simultaneous heating and temperature measurements by an infrared laser beam
Abstract:
A method of simultaneous heating and temperature measuring of a gas absorber by means of an ir CO(2) laser is proposed and tested. The proposed method is relatively simple and direct. In this experiment the temperature on the beam axis as a function of the beam intensity, the beam radius, and the absorber mixture is measured. A good agreement is obtained between the experimental results and theoretical predictions based on the level scheme and the physical characteristics of the absorber. The temperature measurement proposed in the present paper is an additional experimental tool in investigating excitation processes in the ir region.

Equipments Used to Measure Body Temperature
Glass-bulb Thermometer:
Glass-bulb thermometers are hollow glass tubes with a bulb tip containing liquid such as ethanol or mercury. Historically, glass bulb mercury thermometers were the standard device to measure body temperature. Today, mercury thermometers are prohibited in many countries due to the hazardous effects of mercury and the risk of exposure if the glass bulb breaks. In general,...
