In the simplest terms, LPAS involves the absorption of light energy by a molecule and the subsequent detection of heat energy released by the molecule upon return to the ground state.
The sensitivity of LPAS arises from the inherently high efficiency of thermal conversion that occurs in most of these light-absorption processes coupled with a similar efficiency in the piezoelectric devices that convert the pressure wave into a voltage pulse.
In fact, the heat release (q, q', or q'') is detected volumetrically, generally by solvent expansion in response to temperature increase.

 Design of a Primitive Nanofactory
The expansion of the ridge opens a space in its center, which is then filled by a shim which sits above the almost-closed gap between the two halves of the ridge.
Once the shim is in place, the volume of the joint cannot easily be compressed, and the surfaces of the ridges cannot easily slide past each other; pulling apart the joint would require compressing a solid mass of diamond by several percent or breaking at least half of the ridges simultaneously.
The volumetric thermal expansion coefficient of diamond is 3.5x10^-6/K (Freitas, 1999, Appendix A); the linear coefficient is one-third that, or 1.2x10^-6/K. A temperature difference of 1 K thus causes a 200 nm block to expand by a small fraction of an angstrom, while a 10.5-cm surface will expand by 126 nm.

In general, reservoir fluids in the preproduction stage are assumed to be static, while the thermal gradient in any direction in the reservoir is assumed to be negligible.
In general, vertical compositional variations are due to the interaction of gravity and a vertical temperature gradient, while reservoirs with areal and vertical compositional variations generally have existing thermal gradients, both vertical and horizontal, as shown in Fig.
Substituting (1.3) into (1.1) and (1.2) gives a set of equations that can be solved together with the energy balance for the pressure, temperature and composition profiles in the reservoir as functions of time, using an appropriate numerical scheme.
