Nondestructive characterization at nanoscopic scale by photoacoustic and photothermal techniques -INVITED

Photoacoustic and Photothermal Spectroscopy are excellent techniques for studying the optical absorption spectra of opaque and highly light-scattering substances such as nanomaterials. In this paper we review recent advances in the methodology and its novel applications at the nanoscopic scale.

A note on the history of photoacoustic, thermal lensing, and photothermal deflection techniques

We review the history of photoacoustic, thermal lensing, and photothermal deflection techniques from early experiments to the current time. The paper also describes the main fields of application in chronological order, showing the primary advantages and listing initial technological developments
