This study introduces a novel pump-probe thermal lensing method to detect low-absorbing substances within highly absorbing backgrounds. The technique successfully measured pollutant concentrations down to 0.04 ppm in a 20 cm ethanol sample.

Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Photothermal Techniques

Background:

  • Accurate quantification of low-absorbing analytes is challenging in complex matrices.
  • High-absorbing backgrounds can obscure or interfere with sensitive detection methods.
  • Traditional thermal lensing techniques may have limitations with large path-length samples.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To develop a new pump-probe mode-mismatched thermal lensing experimental scheme.
  • To enable the extraction of low-absorbing components in the presence of high-absorbing backgrounds.
  • To facilitate the use of large path-length samples in thermal lensing experiments.

Main Methods:

  • Utilizing a pump-probe mode-mismatched thermal lensing setup.
  • Employing a 20 cm column of ethanol as a sample matrix.
