Photothermal deflection spectroscopy has been applied to optical absorption measurements in As2S3, Se, and As–S glasses. The spectroscopic method is demonstrated to be suitable for evaluation of small absorption in thin samples, while its accuracy is affected by light scattering. For As2S3, as-evaporated films give higher residual absorption than those of the bulk. In the As–S system, As2S3 shows the most prominent weak absorption tail, and As17S83 exhibits a peculiar spectrum. The origins of these features are discussed.
