Sánchez-Pérez and V. Argueta-Díaz}, country = {}, institution = {}, abstract = {In this paper we present the design of an optical device based on a Herriott multi-pass cell fabricated on a small sized acrylic slab for heat flux measurements using the deflection of a laser beam propagating inside the cell. The beam deflection is produced by the heat flux conducted to the acrylic slab due to a gradient in the refractive index. The use of a long path cell as the sensitive element in this measurement device, gives the possibility of high sensitivity within a small size device. We present the optical design as well as some experimental results in order to validate the device’s operation principle.}, journal = {International Journal of Electrical and Computer Engineering}, volume = {9}, number = {8}, year = {2015}, pages = {944 - 948}, ee = {https://publications.waset.org/pdf/10002485}, url = {https://publications.waset.org/vol/104}, bibsource = {https://publications.waset.org/}, issn = {eISSN: 1307-6892}, publisher = {World Academy of Science, Engineering and Technology}, index = {Open Science Index 104, 2015}, }
