The unexposed portions contain the ink-receptive image areas.

The photothermal conversion layer includes a metal absorbing layer.

A photothermal conversion spectroscopic analysis method in which high sensitivity measurement can be carried out, and a photothermal conversion spectroscopic analysis system executing that method.

The second layer may also contain a photothermal conversion material.

The photothermal conversion layer is positioned adjacent to the joining layer and the temporary carrier is positioned adjacent the photothermal conversion layer.

The photo-thermal conversion efficiency in optical writing is improved.

Photothermal conversion: heating of a fluid (water, air) by solar energy.

The article includes a substrate, a leveling layer, a joining layer, a photothermal conversion layer and a temporary carrier.

Photothermal conversion is measured in a plurality of measuring regions by using a common light source at the same time.

Provided is a donor substrate for transfer, which has a substrate and a photothermal conversion layer having the rough surface.

Since long-wavelength laser is employed as the excitation light, a photothermal converting detection device can be economically constructed and thus the measurement can be effected at a low cost.

The photosensitive composition contains (a) self-water-dispersion resin particles, (b) a photothermal converting agent, and (c) a methylol compound.

The original plate for lithography comprises a photosensitive layer comprising a hydrophilic polymer, a crosslinking agent, hydrophobic polymer particles, and a photothermal conversion agent.

The imageable layer contains a photothermal conversion material and a polymeric binder that comprises a polymer backbone with sulfobetaine- and/or carboxybetaine-containing side chains.

A photothermal conversion material is present in either in the underlayer or in an absorber layer between the underlayer and the ink-repellent layer.
