An effective and stable method to enhance the sensitivity for photothermal measurements was proposed. The effectiveness of our method was proven by measuring the thickness of metal thin-film samples. It features sample surface coatings to improve the pumping beam's absorption of the sample as well as radiation efficiencies from the sample. Two solutions, graphite and dye, were used as coating materials. As metal thin-film samples, aluminum films formed by vacuum deposition on sapphire substrate were used. The inclination of the line showing the relationship between detection signals to the aluminum film thickness (i.e. measurement sensitivity) with coatings is more than three times larger than without coatings. Resolution on the order of a few nm film thickness measurement was achieved by using this coating method for metal films whose thickness ranged from 0 to several hundred nm. The effectiveness of our method functions for other photothermal measurements.
