Photothermal spectroscopy is an ultrasensitive means to measure optical and IR absorption. As such, knowledge of its operating principles should be included in the arsenal of any analytical chemist. Photothermal spectroscopy includes a variety of ingenious instrumental methods including photothermal lens, photothermal deflection, photothermal diffraction, photothermal radiometry, and photothermal interferometry spectroscopies and a host of complex experimental techniques that have not got final names yet. Some photothermal spectrometers are sensitive enough to measure absorption due to few analyte molecules: molecules that do not fluoresce. Most wishing to use photothermal spectroscopy construct their own apparatus. On the other hand, photothermal spectroscopy is a nondestructive in situ technique. It is more easily adapted to environments and applications that eluded other spectroscopies due to both its destructive nature and its finicky sample matrix requirements.
Most of the apparatuses constructed for photothermal spectroscopy analysis incorporate laser light sources. Many use lasers both for sample excitation and for monitoring changes in refractive index that occurs due to the non‐radiative energy loss of the target analyte to the supporting matrix. Signal generation is a second‐order process depending on not only the analyte but also the sample matrix and laser optics. Because of this, some argue that photothermal spectroscopy is too complicated for “practical application” to chemical analysis. This viewpoint cannot be taken after critical examination of the operating principles governing optical methods of chemical analysis in general. All processes that occur in photothermal spectroscopy also occur in conventional spectroscopies. Lasers amplify the effects of these processes through more precise control of experimental parameters. It is this magnification that allows photothermal spectroscopy to be used for ultrasensitive chemical analysis. Nonetheless, successful application of this, and any other analytical procedure utilizing laser‐based instrumentation, requires a little more caution and knowledge on the part of the analyst. Experimental observations can be controlled by processes that, in a conventional spectrometer, are simply regarded as “artifacts.” To be sure, a working knowledge of laser optics, principles governing absorption, excited state energy transfer, fluid dynamics, and measurement electronics are all necessary ingredients required to solve problems that might arise in laser‐based analysis. This knowledge constitutes a practical and consistent theoretical description of the photothermal effect.
This book on photothermal spectroscopy concentrates on the theoretical basis and practical considerations required for successful application of these techniques to the analysis of samples, primarily in homogeneous media. The final chapter discusses considerations for the analysis of solids. Photothermal spectroscopy is treated from a fundamental standpoint. Perhaps the greatest strength of this text may be that it provides a nearly complete description of photothermal spectroscopy using a common mathematical language. It is hoped that this systematic approach to a description of the physical basis for the photothermal signal generation processes will result in a more complete understanding of why certain problems are encountered in analytical applications and how the effects can either be avoided or compensated for. The information gathered to produce this description comes from many forms of analytical spectroscopy, measurement physics, physical optics, and chemical dynamics. It is information that should be known to persons doing any type of spectroscopy. As such, this book should be useful to all spectroscopists.
The book is arranged in the order of the theoretical basis and practical aspects of photothermal spectroscopy. The first chapter deals with a general description of photothermal spectroscopy and related techniques. The techniques are defined and described, and the albeit subtle distinction between photothermal and related techniques, such as photoacoustic and photopyroelectric spectroscopies, is made. The history and important features of the various techniques are given. Applications‐oriented literature is not extensively reviewed, though pertinent citations and examples are given to illustrate the points. Each part includes a discussion of the operating principles of signal generation and applications of the various techniques for materials analysis. Some parts of this chapter were based on previous review materials. Many reviews by A. C. Tam were invaluable in constructing this chapter.
Regardless of how the thermal perturbation is detected, or the physical state of the sample, the treatment of the operating principles of photothermal spectroscopy must include discussions of the optical excitation and exited state relaxation and the thermal or hydrodynamic relaxation processes. These processes are related, though, for purposes of description, they are treated in separate chapters. Optical excitation and excited state relaxation are intimately coupled to energy transfer throughout the sample matrix. Chapter 2 addresses some basic principles of optical absorption, excited state relaxation, scattering loss, and nonlinear optical absorption effects that can occur. Attention is paid to nonlinear processes, in particular those arising due to excited state dynamics. It is shown that these processes not only affect the energy absorbed by the sample but also distort the spatial distribution of absorbed energy. This spatial distortion can result in experimental artifacts in chemical analysis and so should be recognized by the analyst. These effects must be addressed for successful interpretation of nonlinear optical spectroscopies in general.
Chapter 3 addresses the hydrodynamic equations that govern energy transfer in the sample matrix. It is a necessary exercise in nonequilibrium fluid dynamics. After reviewing the literature in this area, it was decided that a new approach was needed to bring the concepts of thermal diffusion and acoustic relaxation together. The approach used is based on the solution to the energy, mass, and momentum conservation equations used by Berne and Pecora in their text describing dynamic light scattering. The approach is no more complex than others used to describe photothermal signals, but the results are more agreeable in sense that a separation of acoustic and thermal relaxation impulse responses results. The impulse‐response approach lends a more general appeal to this chapter since the results can be applied to almost any situation encountered in photothermal spectroscopy. This chapter holds some surprises. The connection between the hydrodynamic relaxation resulting from a photothermal perturbation and that resulting from statistical thermal fluctuations was not neglected. This connection allowed the calculation of detection limits based only on fundamental properties of matter. The treatment is not complete, owing to a lack of time, but it should serve as basis for a better understanding of ultimate detection limits of detection available using optical spectroscopy and to guide the analytical chemist in optimization of experimental parameters.
Chapter 4 addresses temperature change and photothermal optical element generation. It is somewhat embarrassing that much of the high‐brow theoretical aspects developed in the previous two chapters had to be discarded, or at least approximated, to provide a comprehensible description of photothermal spectroscopy. On the other hand, the approach used does accomplish certain goals. Not only is an understanding of optical element generation obtained, but also since the approximations are introduced and quantified, the limitations of this approach are recognized. Again, these may help in a description of certain artifacts that have been observed in photothermal spectroscopy. Several improvements to a quantitative description of photothermal spectroscopy are obtained in this chapter despite the approximations used. In particular, the role that excited states play in the strength of the optical elements as recognized by Terazima, and the sensitivity of the technique to temperature changes as measured and reported by Harris and Tran, may help future researchers understand and identify sources of inaccuracy when using laser‐based analysis.
A mathematical description of signals produced in photothermal spectroscopy used for homogeneous samples is shown in Chapter 5. There has been steady development in the theory since the first descriptions of the photothermal lens in the 1960s. Physical principles underlying the photothermal spectroscopy signal generation process in homogeneous samples have been addressed by many authors over subsequent years. These works are sufficiently separated in time, and approaches used are different owing to subtle differences in the area that these researchers worked in. This chapter attempts to consolidate this work by developing a consistent mathematical basis for signal description. These consolidated results are then used to make predictions to extend the understanding of photothermal spectroscopy. It is hoped that the consolidated theory can serve as a platform from which further studies into improving photothermal spectroscopy can be launched.
Chapters 6 and 7 consider successful application of photothermal spectroscopy to analytical measurements. Chapter 6 is a generalized treatment of considerations for chemical analysis. Many of the considerations are routine. In addition to the usual considerations for sampling, sample preparation, separations, reagent and solvent purity, and the like, one must also consider the thermal and optical properties of the solvents and optical materials used in the apparatus. Because of the extreme sensitivity to absorbance and the spatial‐dependent nature of the measurement, one must also be aware of how the environment affects the measurement. This chapter attempts to summarizes some of these effects and to address means by which accurate measurements can be obtained. The different means of discriminating analyte of solvent or matrix are described. The instrumental techniques for measuring the photothermal signals are then described. The instrumental apparatuses, data collection, signal processing, and data reduction steps are discussed, and virtues and limitations of the various techniques are highlighted. Chapter 7 examines the literature of analytical applications of photothermal spectroscopy.
The last chapter introduces the reader to differences between homogeneous and heterogeneous sample photothermal spectroscopy. There are now several books devoted to photothermal spectroscopy of heterogeneous materials, and this chapter only outlines the processes. This is done by examining the thermal diffusion equations that must be used to obtain a working description of the photothermal signals. A small literature review of the application of this technique to chemical analysis is included at the end.
Stephen Bialkowski would like to thank some people who, though not directly contributing to this book, did help me to complete the work. Andrew Tam brought important works in photothermal and photoacoustic spectroscopies to attention over many years through unsolicited reprints and tips. Joel Harris has been a stimulating source of personal and scientific support for endeavors into pulsed laser excited photothermal and nonlinear spectroscopies. The positive attitude of these scientists inspired me to continue writing the 1st edition in times when this book seemed hopelessly wrong. I also want to acknowledge my friend, colleague, and coauthor, Nelson Astrath. We first met the Cairo ICPPP meeting and began collaboration. Nelson inspires us to learn more about solid‐state photothermal methods, and we have made some interesting discoveries. I also acknowledge my colleague Mikhail A. Proskurnin. We also talked at the Cairo ICPPP and spoke of plans for this 2nd edition book.
Mikhail A.

Photothermal spectroscopy is a group of high sensitivity methods used to measure optical absorption and thermal characteristics of a sample. The basis of photothermal spectroscopy is a photoinduced change in the thermal state of the sample. Light energy absorbed and not lost by subsequent emission results in sample heating. This heating results in a temperature change as well as changes in thermodynamic parameters of the sample that are related to temperature. Measurements of the temperature, pressure, or density changes that occur due to optical absorption are ultimately the basis for the photothermal spectroscopic methods.
Ingle and Crouch (1988) classify photothermal spectroscopy as one of several indirect methods for optical absorption analysis. Indirect methods do not measure the transmission of light used to excite the sample directly, but rather measure an effect that optical absorption has on the sample. The term indirect applies to the light measurement, not to the optical absorbance. Photothermal spectroscopy is, in a sense, a more direct measure of optical absorption than optical transmission‐based spectroscopies. Sample heating is a direct consequence of optical absorption, and so photothermal spectroscopy signals are directly dependent on light absorption. Scattering and reflection losses do not produce photothermal signals. Subsequently, photothermal spectroscopy more accurately measures optical absorption in scattering solutions, in solids, and at interfaces. This aspect makes it particularly attractive for application to surface and solid absorption studies and studies in scattering media.
The indirect nature of the measurement also results in photothermal spectroscopy being more sensitive than optical absorption measured by transmission methods. There are two reasons for this. First, photothermal effects can amplify the measured optical signal. This amplification is referred to as the enhancement factor (Dovichi and Harris 1979; Mori, Imashaka, and Ishibashi 1982) and is the ratio of the signal obtained using photothermal spectroscopy to that of conventional transmission spectroscopy. Enhancement factors depend on the thermal and optical properties of the sample, the power or energy of the light source used to excite the sample, and the optical geometry used to excite the sample. Since the optical excitation power or energy and geometry are variable, the enhancement can be made very large, even for samples with relatively poor thermal and optical properties. In fact, the problem with photothermal spectroscopy is not the absorption detection limit. The problem is the detection of analyte absorbance in the presence of a relatively large (10−5 cm−1) absorbance of the solvent. The second reason photothermal spectroscopy is more sensitive than transmission is that the precision of the measurement is inherently better than that of the direct transmission method. The fundamental limitation of conventional absorption spectroscopy, namely, shot noise, may be partially circumvented (Bialkowski et al. 1992). Because of the increased fundamental signal‐to‐noise ratios, the problem of being able to detect the analyte in the presence of a relatively large background absorption should be able to be overcome with perseverance.
The high sensitivity of the photothermal spectroscopy methods has led to applications for analysis of low absorbance samples. Dovichi (1987
