In interacting of laser beam with inhomogeneous absorbing liquids optoacoustic waves which are spread in liquids in definite conditions. They contain information occur about physical characteristics of liquid. One of the important optoacoustic characteristics of liquid is the coefficient of radiation absorption. Average integral value of absorption coefficient of optoacoustic waves in the liquid is determined on the bases of Buger's law. At present some experimental research methods of average value of absorption coefficient of acoustic waves in the liquids have been developed. In inhomogeneous absorbing medium radiation absorption coefficient changes with the depth of penetration and varies from point to point. That's why diagnosis of absorption coefficient of inhomogeneous absorbing medium is of great interest. The results of experiments on restoration of distribution of absorption coefficients in model liquid are given [1]. On the basis of experiments it has been determined that restoration is possible in the order depth of optic thickness of the medium. Possibility of formation of acoustic signal of given form has been shown with the help of inhomogeneous-absorbing mediums and formula for optoacoustic diagnosis of absorption coefficient has been offered [2]. On the bases of optoacoustic signal wave front the formula on diagnosis of absorption coefficient with the depth in oil emulsion adding transformation oil into water have been given. Experiments showed that absorption coefficient with penetration depth of the wave into the liquid increases nonlinear [3,4].
Existing methods of diagnosis of absorption coefficients in inhomogeneous absorbing medium are based on the change of optoacoustic pressure with the depth [4].
Unlike abovementioned works in the given paper the optothermodynamic method of absorption coefficient is offered. The aim of the work is diagnosis of absorption coefficients in inhomogeneous absorbing medium based on the information about temperature change in two various points of the medium. According to temperature distribution in liquids of absorption coefficient distribution in inhomogeneous medium is determined on the basis of law of conversation of energy.
In linear absorption of laser beams in the liquid volume density of absorbed energy in the liquid volume density of absorbed energy 1 ( ) Q z is determine on the formula.
Where a ( ) z α is an absorption coefficient, 0 I  is the intensity of incident laser beam.
It is accepted that absorbed energy of laser beam is used to increase internal energy of the liquid, i.e., to the heating of liquid. Temperature field in liquid is determined from the solution of differential equation from the solution of differential equation of that conductivity. For homogeneous of liquid can be considered constants this equation has the form: where C P is heat capacity in the constant pressure, ρ is liquid density, υ is average volume speed of convection, λ is heat conductivity coefficient.
Thus, determination of absorption coefficient distribution leads to the solution of the inverse problem for equation (2). To simplify the solution of equation (2)   Diagram of relative change dependence of absorption coefficient on parameter in various values of penetration depth has been presented in Figure 2. This diagram allows evaluating influence of temperature change on the absorption coefficient.
Diagram of relative change dependence of absorption coefficient on the depth in various levels by diagnosis has been presented in Figure 3.
Temperature dependence of absorption coefficient can be determined on the basis of eqn. (3). If, to differentiate this equation on z we have: If, to consider expression for 1 ξ and consider that besides 1 T ∆ the rest of the values are constant, then we have As it follows from this formula, absorption coefficient is directly proportional to the temperature gradient. With the increase of temperature gradient, absorption coefficient raises. Simultaneously formula eqn. In non-linear, two-photon absorption of laser beams in the liquid, decrease of the beam intensity with the thickness is determined by formula:
