Ultrasensitive gas detection by quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy in the fundamental molecular absorption bands region
A trace gas sensor based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy with a quantum cascade laser operating at 4.55 μm as an excitation source was developed. The sensor performance was evaluated for the detection of N2O and CO. A noise-equivalent (1σ) sensitivity of 4 ppbv N2O with 3 s response time to (1−1/e) of the steady-state level was demonstrated. The influence of the relevant energy tr...
متن کاملDetection of bacterial growth by gas absorption.
When 24 different aerobic organisms were grown in a shaken culture, all were found to first absorb gas from the headspace. In a rudimentary medium, such as tryptic soy broth, 16 of the 24 organisms did not produce gas following the initial gas absorption. We have developed a simple, noninvasive method for detecting both gas absorption and production in multiple culture vials. The time to positi...
متن کاملDetection of intraperitoneal free gas by ultrasound
Introduction: Patients with acute abdominal pain may have unsuspected pneumoperitoneum, and be investigated with ultrasound. Although not the primary imaging modality for this condition, ultrasound will usually demonstrate signs of free intraperitoneal or extra-luminal gas. Methods: Sonographic signs of pneumoperitoneum are described, along with the limitations and pitfalls of the technique. Th...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic Ultrasound (paus)
Introduction / Background: Photoacoustic Ultrasound (PAUS) is an ultrasound technique that relies on short duration laser pulses to produce the signal to be read by the transducer. These short duration laser pulses create an acoustic wave from the imaged object which can be read out by a transducer. This ultrasound method exploits the strong optical contrast of tissues, allowing it to image ana...
متن کاملUltrasound-heated photoacoustic flowmetry.
We report the development of photoacoustic flowmetry assisted by high-intensity focused ultrasound (HIFU). This novel method employs HIFU to generate a heating impulse in the flow medium, followed by photoacoustic monitoring of the thermal decay process. Photoacoustic flowmetry in a continuous medium remains a challenge in the optical diffusive regime. Here, both the HIFU heating and photoacous...
