We designed an experimental setup that included a modulatedlaser to backlight the vibrating object and to generate an analogue shadowgraph,a photo-detector installed in front of the shadowgraph, isconnected to a lock-in amplifier, and synchronized by the laser modulator,to retrieve the vibration signal from the noisy optical background. The methodwasapplied successfully to detect the resonance frequency of tungsten filament atincandescencetemperature inside an automotive lamp as a proof of concept. This method can be also adapted to test the thermo-elastic characteristics of refractory alloy samples,the mechanical properties of high temperature refractory MEMS lightingsandnano-structured tungsten based advanced thermal shock-resistant lighting sources. %U https://icmep.journals.ekb.eg/article_29584_738d51743a294dd049d85a90cb796e1e.pdf
