Nonlinear photoacoustics for measuring the nonlinear optical absorption coefficient.
We report a novel photoacoustic Z-scan (PAZ-scan) technique that combines the advantages offered by the conventional Z-scan method and the sensitivity of the photoacoustic detection. The sample is scanned through the focused laser beam and the generated photoacoustic signal is recorded using a 10 MHz focused ultrasound transducer. Since the signal strength is directly proportional to the optica...
متن کاملMeasurement of the optical absorption coefficient of a liquid by use of a time-resolved photoacoustic technique.
A time-resolved photoacoustic technique has been applied to the study of dissolved and dispersed absorbers in aqueous systems. The temporal pressure profiles generated from colloidal graphite and glucose solutions were measured, and it was found that the amplitude of the photoacoustic signal of both the glucose and the colloidal graphite solutions increase linearly with concentration and that a...
متن کاملAbsolute measurements of local chromophore concentrations using pulsed photoacoustic spectroscopy
Photoacoustic spectroscopy has the potential to make non-invasive, spatially resolved measurements of absolute chromophore concentrations. This has a wide range of possible applications, for example the mapping of endogenous chromophores such as oxy(HbO2) and deoxyhaemoglobin (HHb) or externally administered contrast agents designed to target specific tissues or molecular processes. In this stu...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic spectrometer for measuring light absorption by aerosol : Instrument
Abstract A photoacoustic spectrometer has been developed to measure in situ light absorption by aerosol. The measured quantity is the sound pressure produced in an acoustic resonator caused by light absorption. The current lower detection limit for light absorption is 0.4 Mm which corresponds to an elemental carbon mass density of ≈ 40 ng/m assuming an efficiency for light absorption of 10 m/g....
متن کاملNew optical technique for measuring erythrocyte deformability with the ektacytometer.
The laser light scattered by erythrocytes subjected to a well-defined shear stess can be analyzed with the ektacytometer to obtain information regarding the changes in cell shape due to fluid shear. We describe an optical technique whereby an observed quantitative output derived from a mesurement of light intensity through a spatial filter is related to the change in cellular dimensions that we...
