In this paper we investigate the effect of the pinhole size on the magnitude of the photothermal signal and the result of signal analyses to obtain the thermal diffusivity. In this experiment, in the thermal lens spectroscopy (TLS) setup, a diode laser operating at 532nm and a He-Ne laser operating at 632.8nm were used as pump and probe respectively, and they passed co-linearly through the sample. Pure ethanol (99.5%) was used as the sample. Results show that despite the direct effect of the pinhole size on the magnitude of photothermal signal, if aligned properly, it does not have a considerable effect on analyses of thermal diffusivity.
