✦ Synopsis
The temporal and spatial propagation of heat in a dielectric medium has been studied by observing the thermal expansion using a differential laser interferometer which was initially built for profilometry. It is demonstrated that topographical and thermal information can be obtained simultaneously. Measurements were compared with calculations using a simple model and found to be in good agreement.
