Abstract

We report a nondestructive optical probing technique for superconducting films, by which a cross-sectional gradient of the local transition temperature T_c and a two-dimensional map of the local critical current I _c of an Al film were obtained. The two-dimensional map clearly shows a variety of defects of the Al film. Some of them can be correlated to visible pinholes.
