We have developed a method for simultaneously measuring four kinds of thermophysical properties of electrically conductive materials at high temperatures. In this method, a plate-shaped sample is rapidly heated up to a high temperature by passing an electrical current pulse through it. After that, a surface of the sample is irradiated by a laser pulse. Thermal conductivity, specific heat, total emissivity, and electrical resistivity are derived from the temperature response of the sample due to the electrical-optical hybrid pulse heating. The major advantage of this method is the minimum exposure of the sample to high temperature, which can minimize the contamination of the sample.
