Photothermal spectroscopy using optical beam probing: Mirage effect
Abstract
Optical beam deflection near a heated surface was recently introduced as a method of photothermal spectroscopy. Photothermal spectroscopy (PTS) is closely related to photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) in its ability to measure optical properties of opaque solids and liquids. This paper develops a theory of this effect and compares this theory with extensive experimental observations. Both are in excellent agreement. The relationship between this form of PTS and PAS is explicitly developed. Applications to the measurement of thermal diffusivity of gases is described.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
