We tried to vary the different control parameters as: the thickness of the sample, his/her concentration, the potency of the excitation laser, etc. We applied the aberrant model developed by Shen to find the thermal diffusivity, the variation of the refraction index with the temperature (dn/dT), and the magnitude of the sign of thermal lens, in the samples. We verified, with base in the theoretical model presented in the chapter 2, that if the increase of the potency and of the concentration it is very big and it reaches a certain value, parameters as thermal diffusivity start to present distortions in the measured values. We also observed that the mixture BC:AO presents nonlinear absorption, even for small potencies of the excitation laser used. The contributions presented in this work are unpublished and they should contribute to a better understanding of the thermal properties of the system BC:AO or of similar systems as some vegetable oils that are rich in acid oleic and betacarotene.porAcesso AbertoPropriedade fototérmicaÁcido oléicoEfeito fotoquímicoDissertaçãoCNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::FISICA::FISICA DA MATERIA CONDENSADA::PROPRIEDADES TERMICAS DA MATERIA CONDENSADACNPQ::CIENCIAS EXATAS E DA TERRA::FISICA::FISICA DA MATERIA CONDENSADA::PROP.OTICAS E ESPECTROSC.DA MAT.CONDENSOUTRAS INTER.DA MAT.COM RAD.E PART.
