The process of thermo-optical excitation of sound by opposing light waves is studied in the magnetically active medium. The influence of natural and induced optical activity on the resulting photoacoustic (PA) response is analyzed. A method of controlling the amplitude of PA signal is proposed. The method is based on the possibility to affect the interference energy dissipation by an external magnetic field.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
