title: Guided-wave technique for the measurement of dielectric thin-film materials' thermal properties.
abstract: A pump-and-probe setup that uses a totally reflecting prism coupler is presented. Its electromagnetic and thermal models are described. To our knowledge, the first results are given concerning the measurement of thermal properties of thin films.
