Organic dye molecules having a finite triplet quantum yield are shown to yield anomalous photothermal signals magnitudes when pulsed laser excitation is used. These anomalous signals can be due tooptical bleaching of the electronic singlet states with subsequent optical absorp-tion within the triplet spin state manifold. A model based on excitation and excited state relaxation rate expressions is derived and applied to the analysis of excitation laser irradiance-dependent photothermal signal magnitude data. The model isfound to fit the experimental results very precisely. It is subsequently used to correct the photothermal signed at high irradiances and to deduce photodynamic parameters from the studied molecule. Regres-sion of the model to the excitation irradiance-dependent data allowsdetermination of the T2—Ti relaxation rate constant and the triplet state cross absorption section. Model regression is applied to the analyses of erythrosin in water and ethanol solvent and of eosin and 1, 1'-diethyl-2, 2-cyanine iodide dyes in ethanol solutions. A method for quantitative determination of analyte concentration is developed.Analytical photothermal spectroscopy employs ultrasensitive techniques to measure weak optical absorbances in solid, gas, and liquid phase samples.* 1 23" 4 5These methods work by monitoring refractive index changes produced by optical excitation and subsequent thermal relaxation within the sample. Photothermal deflection spectroscopy and photothermal lens spectroscopy are the two most widely used of the photothermal methods for optical absorption measurement in homogeneous fluid samples. The operational principles and experimental designs for photothermal lensing and deflection spectrometers are very similar, and there is very little difference in theanalytical utility of these two techniques. Both have been used to achieve absorbance detection limits inthe range of 10 “6-10" 7 AU. The relative merits and analytical utility ofpulsed versus continuous excitation has been a subject of discourse in the literature. 5 6 Apparatuses based on pulsed and continuous laser
