 Photothermal spectroscopy

Photothermal spectroscopy is an analytical technique used to study the interaction between light and matter, particularly focusing on the thermal responses of materials when they absorb light. This method combines principles of spectroscopy and thermal analysis to provide insights into the properties of materials. ### Key Concepts: 1. **Principle of Operation**: - When a material absorbs light, it can convert the energy from the light into heat, leading to a temperature rise.
