Abstract

A thin oil film on a glass substrate has been subjected to thermal stimulation by means of incident infrared (10.6 micrometers ) laser beams, which were mostly absorbed in the substrate, in order to develop an appropriate real-time recording medium for holography and interferometry. A study of the behavior of this film has led to the development of a theoretical model involving surface tension, viscosity, and other effects such as the Marangoni effect. This model was further verified experimentally and the recording medium used for a variety of experiments in infrared holography and interferometry that are summarized in this presentation. The theoretical model will be discussed in order to stress its possible application to other experimental situations involving thin films.
