Broadband photophoretic spectroscopy

Opt Lett. 1980 Jun 1;5(6):242-4. doi: 10.1364/ol.5.000242.

Abstract

A means for obtaining broadband photophoretic spectra is described. The sensitivity of the technique is found in accordance with radiometric theory to increase markedly with pressure reduction below 1 atm. Noise oscillation induced by radiometric torques is contained through the use of electronic damping. The first broadband spectrum on a single crystallite (approximtely 5 microm) of CdS is presented.
