Abstract
In this Review, the main techniques of the photothermal radiometry family with their varieties (modulated and pulsed photothermal radiometry and infrared photocarrier radiometry) and related methods (infrared thermography) are considered from the viewpoints of their specific features and application in chemical research and related disciplines. The basics of the methods and their technical implementation are briefly described. The focus of the paper is to examine the possibilities of photothermal radiometry methods—as techniques combining molecular spectroscopy and thermal characterization—physical and analytical chemistry, materials sciences, and biomedical research. The Review discusses the techniques of photothermal radiometry that find their applications in the various fields of the materials science like investigation of the thermal and structural properties of materials, defectoscopy, and dynamics of thermal processes. It also discusses the techniques that are used in the applied chemical research, in the evaluation of the optical properties at molecular or substance levels and the assessment of various substances including biomaterials. The outlooks of the further development in this area are briefly discussed.
