Non-destructive, in-situ evaluation of water presence using thermal contrast and cooled detector
Patent
·
OSTI ID:1925124
Exemplary systems for detecting water include: a light source positioned to transmit thermal radiation through a sample; a lens assembly positioned to: receive the thermal radiation transmitted through the sample; and focus the transmitted thermal radiation onto a filter positioned between the lens assembly and a detector; and a cooling subsystem for cooling the filter and the detector to a temperature below that of the sample. Methods for detecting presence of water in a sample are also disclosed.
