Abstract
Study of relaxation processes of excited states of hematoporphyrin IX (HP) solutions (in ethanol and methanol) in the presence of tetramethyl ethylene chemical acceptor using both the photoacoustic (PA) - microphone - and photothermal (PT) - PZT - detection, is described. A significant difference between PA and PT signal behaviour has been observed when extremely low (down to 1.25 µM, PT measurements) and high (up to 2.5 mM, PA measurements) concentrations of sensitizer were used.
