Chemical Analysis Perspective ofPhotothermal Spectrometry Spectroscopy measures light absorption in order toquantitatively identify substances of interest The photothermal effect heats a sample uponabsorption of electromagnetic radiation Refractive index change from the photothermaltemperature change produces an optical signals High irradiance sources produce large temperaturechanges, thus large signals Is an ultrasensitive technique used to measureoptical absorbance to 10 -7 AU in fluids
