Time-Resolved Photoacoustic and Photothermal Methods Application to Substances of Biological Interest

  • Chapter
Primary Photo-Processes in Biology and Medicine

Abstract

Photoacoustic (PAS) and photothermal methods are based on the measurement of the heat generated by the radiationless processes for deactivation of excited species [1–5]. These methods are complementary to other photophysical and photochemical methods and, in addition, some of them permit the measurement of heat dissipation in non-transparent or highly scattering media, e. g., in living tissues [6] or in adsorbed substances [7].
