Optoacoustic Spectroscopy.

Abstract

The technique of optoacoustic spectroscopy on the use of modulated or pulsed light beams to produce, directly or indirectly, acoustic waves or pulses in a gaseous or condensed sample, as the excitation beam is scanned in wavelength, an excitation spectrum, called optoacoustic (or photoacoustic) spectrum, is produced. This paper reviews some of the theories and experiments in this field.
