Abstract
We show that thermophoresis (particle drift driven by thermal gradients) in aqueous solutions can be measured by using an all-optical thermal-lensing setup, where a temperature gradient is set by a near-infrared laser beam with no need of light-absorbing dyes. After discussing the principles of the method, we study by numerical simulation the nature and extent of parasitic thermal-convection effects, and we describe an optical setup designed to limit them. We finally present preliminary results on thermophoresis in micellar solutions and colloidal dispersions.
