Abstract

An apparatus and method for measuring thermophysical property value of a specimen. The apparatus includes a heating laser and probe laser for measuring at least one characteristic on the surface of the specimen. A detector detects the reflected probe laser beam, and a computer calculates the thermophysical property value of the specimen based on the reflected probe laser beam.
