Abstract

Relatively low laser powers (125mW) can significantly raise the temperature of a heat sensitive sample. Furthermore, this can result in large temperature gradients across the sampled area. These effects can be reduced by using liquid paraffin mulls and pressed disks as commonly employed in IR studies.
