Jp. Favier et al., APPLICATIONS OF A UNIVERSAL OPTOTHERMAL WINDOW DETECTOR FOR SAMPLES OF AGRICULTURAL PURPOSE, Progress in Natural Science, 6, 1996, pp. 562-565
The optothermal window (OW) described here is a practical and easy to
use sensor that enables one to calculate the optical absorption coeffi
cient of fluid and semi fluid samples from the measured optothermal si
gnal. The potential of this new and universal device is demonstrated i
ii studies on liquids and gels of agricultural interest.
