Abstract
The use of photoacoustic spectroscopy for monitoring of different major biofilm components was presented. A tunable, pulsed laser system was used for excitation of photoacoustic signals. The determination of absorption spectra by photoacoustic spectroscopy was validated by the measurement of a reference dye and comparison with the corresponding ultraviolet-Vis spectrum. First photoacoustic absorption spectra of biofilms in the visible and near infrared range was demonstrated.
