چکیده
The influence of the probe beam size and shape on the photothermal reflectance signal is discussed. An analytical formula for the case of Gaussian power distribution is derived. The potentials of the photothermal microscope for local investigation of thermal parameters of solids and solid structures are outlined using computer simulation.

In this paper we present a detailed theoretical treatment of the 3-D temperature distribution induced by laser beam in photothermal displacement spectroscopy. We assume that a solid sample, which is deposited on a substrate and is in contact with a fluid, is irradiated by an intensity modulated cw laser source. By using a technique based on Greens function and integral transformations we find...
متن کاملApplication of photothermal probe beam deflection technique for ablation and damage measurements by using short UV - laser pulses
For application in UV-material processing and UV-thin-film optics, the thermal contribution to damage and ablation phenomena will be investigated utilizing time resolved photothermal probe beam deflection (MIRAGE) technique. The potentiality of this method for the determination of both the sub-damage range and the Onset of damage, as well as the ablation threshold by using the thermal branch of...
متن کاملDetection of photothermal deflection signals with conjugate masks.
A new detection technique for photothermal deflection spectroscopy and photoacoustic deflection spectroscopy is presented. The technique uses a pair of matched multiple slits placed in the path of the probe beam and oriented to block the probe light from the detector in the absence of a deflection signal. Significant improvement in the signal-to-noise ratio and in the frequency bandwidth compar...
متن کاملPhotothermal reflectance microscopy : signal contrast in the case of thick and thin grain interfaces in solids
In this work a thick interface model is proposed in order to describe the photothermal signal perturbation introduced by grain interfaces. The validity of the model is discussed based upon photothermal reflectance microscopy results obtained on Fe sintered samples. A comparison with the thermal resistance model, which is valid only in the case of thin interfaces, is also presented.
