Keynote
Photothermal Detection Methods and Their Applications
This talk highlights the latest research endeavors carried out by my lab in the field of photothermal and photoacoustic imaging for Non-Destructive Testing and Evaluation (NDT&E). Various cutting-edge techniques and their applications are discussed, with a focus on thermal wave imaging quality improvement, thermal-wave radar tomography (TWRT), scanning thermal wave imaging, 3D optical measurement and thermography fusion, and defect detection for NDT. The development and application of thermal-wave imaging devices in the aerospace industry are also presented. Additionally, an enhanced photoacoustic spectrum and all-optical photoacoustic imaging are briefly introduced for evaluating polyimide material properties degradation and detecting subsurface defects. The talk concludes with the demonstration of a photothermal microimaging method, showcasing its applications in imaging Au nanoparticles, carbon nanotubes, and magnetism nanoparticles. The collective research efforts of my group are summarized, highlighting recent accomplishments and contributions to the field.
