Abstract
As much as scattering of radiation propagating via the matter under study allows one to evaluate internal inclusions and optical density fluctuations in such matter, the internal absorption of that matter gives a sense of radiant transformation into other forms of energy and essentially distinguishes any obscure regions absorbing radiation in the otherwise transparent medium. Absorbed light can be directly measured via the transformation of its radiant energy into heat when detecting a respective increase of the temperature of the irradiated substrate.
