What Does PDS Stand For?
PDS stands for Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy
Photothermal Deflection Spectroscopy (PDS) is a highly sensitive analytical technique used to investigate the optical and thermal properties of materials. It utilizes the deflection of a light beam caused by localized heating from an absorbed light source, allowing for the detection of weak absorption features in various samples. PDS is particularly valuable in materials science, chemistry, and biology for characterizing thin films, nanoparticles, and biological samples, providing insights into their composition and structural dynamics.
