Photoacoustic spectroscopy using coherent synchrotron radiation: application to α-lactose monohydrate.
We produced coherent synchrotron radiation at the Canadian Light Source between about 5 and 30 cm(-1) in bursting and continuous emission modes and used it to acquire photoacoustic spectra of solids. A band was observed in the spectrum of α-lactose monohydrate at 18 cm(-1) and attributed to a rotational mode, in agreement with published data obtained using other numerical and experimental techniques.
