Microgels are recognized for their remarkable responsiveness to changes in environmental conditions[1]. Here, we presented a novel method for local temperature determination in aqueous solutions by observing the inhomogeneous collapse of microgels positioned at plasmonic metal surface. The surface is a variable-thickness gold layer(5-30nm) deposited on glass coated with titanium oxide(<1nm). The localized laser irradiation of the substrate results in the absorption of light by the gold layer, converting it into heat [2]. We studied how the laser wavelength and power levels, as well as distance from the irradiation spot influence the size and shape of the thermosensitive PNIPAM microgel. The obtained dependences allowed us to construct a comprehensive temperature distribution profile relative to the irradiation point.
