Abstract :
The experiment exposing the millimeter-wave (MMWs) is performed to investigate the relation between the temperature elevation at the ocular tissue and MMW exposure. The temperature and velocity distributions in front part of the eye are simultaneously measured by using Micro-Encapsulated Thermo-chromic Liquid Crystal and Fluoroptic Thermometer. It is found that the flowing patterns of aqueous humor depend on the incident power density, and these patterns affect the heat transport mechanism.
