Abstract
We present time resolved mid-infrared photothermal imaging that allows studying thermal dynamics of samples based on intrinsic vibrational absorption contrast. By using a gated detection in a boxcar configuration, temporal heat profiles at the sub-micron scales can be obtained. Further, the signal to noise is enhanced compared to standard lock-in detection without the need of averaging and post image processing. This imaging platform can be attractive to simultaneously obtain chemical identification and heat diffusion dynamics for a wide range of samples in a label-free manner.
