Abstract
A photothermal deflection experiment with a variable angle pump beam is presented. It is shown that directional absorptivity of rough or corrugated opaque samples can be measured by this technique. As an illustration the absorptivity in p an s polarization of a 2D surface-relief silicon grating is studied. Grating anomalies are detected and qualitatively discussed in the framework of an electromagnetic model.
