The accurate measurement of absorption loss is very important in optimal design of optical thin films. In order to achieve absolute absorption measurement of the optical coating by photothermal detuning technique, a method was proposed according to theory and experiment with a continuous-wave modulated laser beam excitation, which utilized linear relationship between the reflectance(transmittance), temperature rise, and heating laser power. The absolute absorption 1.64x10-2 of the test samples was obtained successfully by the proposed method. Main factors affecting the measurement precision were analyzed. The results show that the absolute absorption loss measurement of the optical coatings can be achieved by the proposed method. The method is particularly suitable for samples with large temperature coefficient of reflectivity or transmission. The accuracy of the method depends on the theoretical model of the sample surface temperature and the measurement accuracy of the experiment. The results provide a theoretical and experimental support for the further application of the photothermal detuning technique.
