Acoustic microresonator based in-plane quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy sensor with a line interaction mode

Ziting Lang et al.

Summary: An acoustic microresonator (AmR) based in-plane quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (IP-QEPAS) sensor with a line interaction mode is proposed for the first time. The proposed AmR extends the interaction area for the acoustic wave along the whole plane of the quartz tuning fork (QTF) prongs. Sixteen types of AmRs are designed to identify the best parameters, and water vapor (H2O) is chosen as the analyte for verification. The results show that the AmR with a line interaction mode not only provides a high signal level but also reduces thermal noise, improving the minimum detection limit (MDL) by 4.11 times compared to standard IP-QEPAS without an AmR.

M. Duquesnoy et al.

Summary: The use of a radial acoustic resonator in combination with a custom quartz tuning fork has led to a QEPAS sensor with performance close to state-of-the-art sensors based on microtube resonators.

Highly sensitive broadband differential infrared photoacoustic spectroscopy with wavelet denoising algorithm for trace gas detection

Lixian Liu et al.

Summary: An upgraded infrared broadband trace gas detection configuration was investigated, utilizing specially designed T-resonators and simultaneous differential optical and photoacoustic measurement capabilities. By using acetylene and local air as samples, the detectivity of the differential photoacoustic mode was demonstrated to be far better than the pure optical approach. The wavelet domain denoising algorithm was introduced to greatly improve the signal-to-noise ratio, leading to a fivefold improvement in sensitivity to acetylene.
