Optoacoustic sensor head for depth profiling

-1 (for 0.25 mJ/cm2). The response function of the total experimental setup is derived from the optoacoustic signal of a black absorber, which is necessary to correct theoretical calculations with regard to the finite time response of the detection system. In the case of homogeneous samples, the theory of optoacoustic signal generation is verified, qualitative results are achieved with layered samples.
