Abstract: Basic methods of laser photothermal spectroscopy, which are used to study photoinduced absorption in various media, are briefly considered. Comparative analysis of these methods is performed and the latest results obtained in this field are discussed. Different schemes and examples of their practical implementation are considered.

Keywords: photothermal spectroscopy, photothermal methods (techniques), photoinduced absorption, laser-induced absorption, review.
