The development of high-power lasers requires optics with very low absorption to avoid detrimental thermal effects. In this work, we discuss our recent developments on the use of lock-in thermography to measure absorption. We apply this technique in a multipass configuration to increase the effective power on the tested samples. We present a system based on a kW-class ytterbium fiber laser operating at 1.07 µm wavelength, which enables exposing samples to 5 kW effective power and measuring absorption in the ppm range. The implementation, calibration procedure, and obtained performance are discussed with some applications to single-layer coatings of ,,,, and deposited by plasma-assisted electron beam deposition.

In this paper, a microwave thermal imaging system (MTIS) has been presented for debonding detection of radar absorbing materials (RAMs). First, an overview of the mechanism underlying microwave heating and the fundamental principle of defect detection within RAMs is presented. Then, a multifunctional MTIS capable of performing both microwave lock-in thermography (MLIT) and long-pulse microwave thermography (LPMT) has been introduced, specifically tailored for the in situ inspection of RAMs.

Article Synopsis
- The study highlights the importance of magnetic structure in antiferromagnets (AFMs), emphasizing their potential for digital data encoding and novel physical phenomena.
- Despite their significance, visualizing the domain structure of non-collinear AFMs remains challenging, with current methods limited to materials like MnSn.
- The researchers introduce a new imaging technique using the anomalous Ettingshausen effect (AEE) that allows for simultaneous observation of magnetic domains in various non-collinear AFMs, enhancing understanding of their magnetization processes.

Background: During inhalation, airborne particles such as particulate matter ≤ 2.5 μm (PM), can deposit and accumulate on the alveolar epithelial tissue. In vivo studies have shown that fractions of PM can cross the alveolar epithelium to blood circulation, reaching secondary organs beyond the lungs.

We report the observation of the anisotropic magneto-Thomson effect (AMTE), which is one of the higher-order thermoelectric effects in a ferromagnet. Using lock-in thermography, we demonstrated that in a ferromagnetic NiPt alloy, the cooling or heating induced by the Thomson effect depends on the angle between the magnetization direction and the temperature gradient or charge current applied to the alloy. AMTE observed here is the missing ferromagnetic analog of the magneto-Thomson effect in a nonmagnetic conductor, providing the basis for nonlinear spin caloritronics and thermoelectrics.
