Description - Photoacoustic Infrared Spectroscopy (Chemical Analysis Vol. 161) by Kirk H. Michaelian

Photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy differs from traditional
infrared spectroscopy in one important way: in its most common
implementation, a microphone is used to detect acoustic waves that
result from absorption of infrared radiation by a sample. In other
words, no optical detector is required to quantify the amount of
incident radiation taken up by the sample. This gas-microphone
method is one of a series of photoacoustic and photothermal
techniques now being used for characterization and analysis of
solids, liquids, and gases. Photoacoustic Infrared
Spectroscopy represents the most comprehensive resource on this
important, emerging technique. Kirk Michaelian?s trenchant
study serves as both a text and reference for a broad community of
academic and industrial scientists conducting extensive research
and applications in photoacoustic infrared spectroscopy. Chapters
include:

Evolution of Photoacoustic Infrared Spectroscopy

Experimental Methods

Depth Profiling

Numerical Methods

Applications of Photoacoustic Infrared Spectroscopy

Quantitative Analysis

Special Topics

Physicists, chemists, and spectroscopists in both academic and
industrial laboratories, polymer and organic chemists, analysts in
industry, forensic and government laboratories, and materials
scientists will find Photoacoustic Infrared Spectroscopy to be a
vital resource.
