We use optics to study thermal transport by modifying a typical laser pump-probe technique. A direct measurement of thermal conductivity is very challenging at high temperatures. In contrast, our method measures temperature dependent diffusivity over a wide range of temperature (10K up to 330K). As thermal diffusivity is the ratio of the thermal conductivity to the heat capacity, we can access the higher temperature thermal conductivity by an optical measurement of diffusivity and standard heat capacity measurement. We have used this technique to measure thermal diffusivity of two strongly correlated metals, Sr₂RuO₄ and Sr₃Ru₂O₇. This temperature dependent thermal transport combined with the resistivity measurements offers an insight into the electronic and phononic contributions to the quasiparticle scattering.
