Self-holograms of laser-induced surface depressions in heavy hydrocarbons

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Among applications of lasers in the petroleum industry are samples of heavy oils heated by a He–Ne laser beam. It is shown that laser power concentrations as low as 1 mW/mm2 induce noticeable changes in the form of the surface. The far-field diffraction pattern of the reflected wave can be considered as a self-hologram of the hole, with the paraxial focus of the bottom of the hole as a point reference source. Annular images corresponding to different zones of the hole are reconstructed by illuminating the hologram with a spherical wave. A geometrical model of the shape of the irradiated surface is proposed and compared with experimental data.
