The technique employed is IR-FT photothermal beam deflection spectroscopy (PBDS). It is an off-shoot of photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) [1] and is based on the "mirage detection of the photothermal effect invented by Boccara et al. [2] and shown to result in a spectroscopic technique of remarkable versatility and utility. Some applications of "mirage spectroscopy," mainly in the visible, and theoretical treatments, have been described [3 6]. The method has now been developed for use in the IR. The spectrometer and techniques are described in detail elsewhere [7], but it will be useful to give a brief outline of the principles. 

It was, if you ask me—and there is no one else really that one can ask—either a holographic mirage of a technical perfection impossible on earth today or it was the manifestation of something which in that instance chose to begin as mist and end as machine, but which could have appeared in any form, a manifestation of a humorous something s omniscient control over the world of form and matter. 

The accuracy of many analytical data reports is a mirage because unwitting negligence and false cost consciousness have ensured that a sample . .. taken with cursory swiftness has been examined with costly precision. Kaye, Illinois Institute of Technology (1967) ...
