Abstract
This chapter provides an elementary introduction to the characteristic features of photothermal and photoacoustic detection and analysis. An overview is presented of the recent advances and developments described in later chapters of this book. These include the development of theoretical models in the time and frequency domains, the investigation of fundamental physical and chemical processes in the gas phase, and applications of the techniques in trace analysis, pollution monitoring and kinetic studies.
