Quantities, Terminology, and Symbols in Photothermal
and Related Spectroscopies
Photothermal spectroscopy is widely used in many fields such as physics,
chemistry, biology, and engineering. In this article, various origins
of the photothermal effects that give rise to photothermal signals and
the terms related to photothermal spectroscopies are reviewed. Terminologies
in grating spectroscopy, lens spectroscopy, light-induced acoustic spectroscopy,
photothermal radiometry, photothermal calorimetry, photothermal interferometry,
photothermal deflection, photothermal reflection change, and related
methods are recommended. Symbols used in photothermal spectroscopy are
summarized.
