The ultra-fast laser pump-probe technique, which is also known as transient thermo-reflectance technique, is a non-contact experimental method widely used for measurements of thermal properties and heat transfer processes. Based on a special two-color femto-second laser pump-probe technique, a rapid experimental method for thermal conductivity measurements of liquids is described in this paper, which has many advantages such as operational convenience, high accuracy, and small liquid sample requirements. During thermal conductivity measurements, pump and probe lasers are co-axial and focused on the interface between the aluminum transducer layer and the glass substrate by a 10× objective lens. The temperature of the aluminum surface will rise immediately following illumination by the laser pulse and fall within the time interval before the next pump pulse. The surface reflectivity of aluminum is a function of temperature and is recorded by a photoelectric detector from the intensity of the reflected probe pulses. The temperature rise caused by the laser energy is small enough that the thermal properties of liquids are stable; the convection inside the liquids is also so weak that it can be ignored. In our study, the heat transfer within the sample during the measurement was analyzed using a bi-direction heat transfer model, which is described. The parameter dependences of the physical properties which may influence the measurement accuracy, including thermal conductivity of the glass substrate, the thickness of the aluminum transducer layer and the modulation frequency of the pump laser, are also analyzed using this model. The analysis shows a lower substrate thermal conductivity, a thinner aluminum transducer layer and a higher modulation frequency can increase the sensitivity of liquid thermal conductivity and reduce measurement error. This analysis will aid in designing sample structures and choosing experimental conditions. In the study, thermal conductivities of two kinds of liquid, water and hexadecane, ar
