Thermal Diffusivity Measurement and Photobleaching Study Using Photoacoustic Technique and UV –Visible Fibre Optics Spectrometry

In recent years, the photoacoustic effects in solid materials, induced by the absorption of intensity-modulated laser radiation, were used as a versatile tool for optical and thermal characterization of a variety of samples. In our work, by using the photoacoustic detection technique, the measure...
