Abstract
The photoacoustic signal of methylene blue irradiated with red light (640 nm), by 1 minute, was monitored in time. It was observed that the PA signal increase with time, fact related with the diminution of the thermal effusivity of the methylene blue after irradiation. It was also observed that the signal undulates with periodicity of about 5 minutes. This behaviour is under study to better understand it.
