Pulsed photothermal radiometry is used to map the heat deposition in human skin after a short laser pulse. It uses an IR (HgCdTe) detector for a rapid noncontact measurement of the skin surface temperature based on the blackbody emission in the 8-12-microm spectrum. The heat deposited by the laser pulse in the superficial epidermis causes an immediate temperature jump, and the heat deposited in basal epidermal melanin and deep port wine stains diffuses to the surface before detection. The time course of the surface temperature T(z = 0, t), indicates the initial spatial distribution of heat, T(z, t = 0), deposited by the laser.
脉冲光热辐射测量法用于绘制短激光脉冲后人体皮肤中的热沉积图。它使用红外（HgCdTe）探测器，基于8 - 12微米光谱中的黑体辐射，对皮肤表面温度进行快速非接触测量。激光脉冲在表皮浅层沉积的热量会导致温度立即跃升，而沉积在基底表皮黑色素和深部葡萄酒色斑中的热量在检测前会扩散到表面。表面温度T（z = 0，t）随时间的变化过程，表明了激光沉积的热量T（z，t = 0）的初始空间分布。
