Photoacoustics and Photoacoustic Spectroscopy

The recognized leader in the modern development of the field presents both theory and applications. Begins with a historical account, covers gas-phase photoacoustic spectroscopy and detection and the theory of condensed phase photoacoustics, and provides a comprehensive survey of applications, from spectroscopy and chemistry analysis to medical applications and thermal analysis. Treats, for the first time, recent work in high-resolution gas spectroscopy, liquid studies, piezoelectric detection methods, thermal processes, depth profiling, and photoacoustic microscopy.
