contents While high-throughput (HT) computations have streamlined the discovery of promising new materials, experimental characterization remains challenging and time-consuming. One significant bottleneck is the lack of an HT thermal characterization technique capable of analyzing advanced materials exhibiting varying surface roughness and in-plane anisotropy. To tackle these challenges, we introduce spatially resolved lock-in micro-thermography (SR-LIT), an innovative technique enhanced by tensor analysis for optical thermal characterization. Our comprehensive analysis and experimental findings showcase notable advancements: We present a novel tensor-based methodology that surpasses the limitations of vector-based analysis prevalent in existing techniques, significantly enhancing the characterization of arbitrary in-plane anisotropic thermal conductivity tensors. On the instrumental side, we introduce a straightforward camera-based detection system that, when combined with the tensor-based methodology, enables HT thermal measurements. This technique requires minimal sample preparation and enables the determination of the entire in-plane thermal conductivity tensor with a single data acquisition lasting under 40 seconds, demonstrating a time efficiency over 90 times superior to state-of-the-art HT thermology. Additionally, our method accommodates millimeter-sized samples with poor surface finish, tolerating surface roughness up to 3.5 μm. These features highlight an innovative approach to realizing HT and accurate thermal characterization across various research areas and real-world applications.
