- The cause of the anomalous results is not known; possibly an electronically- or computationally-induced artifact was involved. For example, the photothermal response of a carbon is frequently very high, so that the centerburst of the photothermal interferogram is very intense indeed. Consequently, if the gain of the preamplifier processing the microphone's output were set too high, the centerburst would be “clipped,” resulting in a distorted spectrum. However, as uncompensated spectra were not shown, and instrumental details are not available, the cause of the anomalies remains obscure.
