Flat surfaces of compressed pellets made of copper phthalocyanine powders were excited by nanosecond laser pulses and their time-resolved extinction coefficients were obtained by using regular I reflection spectroscopy independent of Kramers-Kronig transformation. The results showed transient depletion at the peaks of the ground state absorption spectra, which is due to a change in thermal population in vibrational states. The decay of the transient depletion was well described with the temperature dependency of extinction coefficient based on Sulzer-Wieland approximation and one-dimensional thermal diffusion towards the deep parts of the pellet samples.
