Thermal techniques for probing space charge and electric field distributions in dielectric materials became available approximately 30 years ago. The techniques have reached maturity and they have been employed not only for the primary purpose of electric field or polarization profiling, but also in a wide range of problems posed by materials research. The present survey provides an overview of the historical development, the experimental implementation of the different techniques, the theoretical foundation, methods for the data analysis and a comparison of thermal and acoustic techniques. The thermal wave technique LIMM is used as an example among the thermal techniques, for a discussion of data analysis techniques and for the spatial resolution that can be achieved with thermal wave techniques. A tour d'horizon is provided through recent applications of thermal techniques, in order to demonstrate their capabilities for dielectric material characterisation.
