TLDR
Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy was applied to the nondestructive detection of subsurface layer of bilayered films in this paper, which was carried out by the application of the subtraction technique to the photo-acoustic amplitude spectra of bilayers whose top layer has various values in thickness.
Abstract
Fourier transform infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy was applied to the nondestructive detection of subsurface layer of bilayered films Spectral separation of the subsurface layer was carried out by the application of the subtraction technique to the photoacoustic amplitude spectra of bilayered films whose top layer has various values in thickness As a result, it was found that the spectrum corresponding to the subsurface layer could be separated, and that the photoacoustic depth profiling was possible as far as the depth, which is approximately half the value of the thermal diffusion length

Fourier Transform Photoacoustic Spectroscopy of Polymers

TL;DR: In the invisible part beyond the red, where the eye is useless, the ear is invaluable as discussed by the authors, and the ear cannot for one moment compete with the eye in the examination of the visible part of the spectrum.

Theory of the photoacoustic effect with solids

TL;DR: In this article, a quantitative derivation for the acoustic signal in a photoacoustic cell in terms of the optical, thermal, and geometric parameters of the system is presented. And the theory predicts the dependence of the signal on the absorption coefficient of the solid, thereby giving a theoretical foundation for the technique of photoacoustical spectroscopy.
