Infrared lock-in thermography of an active layer through a glass substrates is demonstrated and explained theoretically. A transition between signal generation close to the active layer and close to the back surface of the substrate is found for glass at 0.5 Hz. For higher frequencies, the signal resolution is given by the thermal diffusion length in glass, very similar to direct observation of the active layer. An experimental difficulty is that the signal is strongly influenced by a slow but strong temperature transient in the beginning of the measurement. It is shown how to correct for this effect efficiently. (C) 2011 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
