We have developed a new technique, photothermal displacement spectroscopy, for studying the optical and thermal properties of surfaces. The ability to distinguish surface and bulk optical absorptions is demonstrated. The signal is directly proportional to the surface absorption coefficient and is insensitive to variations in the real part of the dielectric constant.
