Single-tube on beam quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectrophones exploiting a custom quartz tuning fork operating in the overtone mode
We report here on the realization of a single-tube on-beam quartz-enhanced photoacoustic (QEPAS) spectroscopy sensor employing a custom-made quartz tuning fork (QTF) with a large prong spacing. The prongs of the QTF have been designed in order to provide a quality factor twice higher when the QTF operates in the first overtone flexural mode than in the fundamental mode. The influence of the mic...
متن کاملQEPAS spectrophones: design, optimization, and performance
The impact of design parameters of a spectrophone for quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy on its performance was investigated. The microresonator of spectrophone is optimized based on an experimental study. The results show that a 4.4 mm-long tube with 0.6 mm inner diameter yields the highest signal-to-noise ratio, which is ∼30 times higher than that of a bare QTF at gas pressures betwee...
متن کاملInnovative quartz enhanced photoacoustic sensors for trace gas detection
A detailed analysis of the quality factor, the resonance frequency and the electrical resistance of custom quartz tuning forks (QTFs) having different geometrical parameters is reported. We implemented custom QTFs in a quartz enhanced photoacoustic sensor targeting water vapor detection and compared the fundamental and first overtone flexural modes gas sensor performances.
متن کاملDetection of Molecular Oxygen at Low Concentrations Using Quartz Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy
Molecular oxygen is detected at low concentrations using photoacoustic spectroscopy despite its unfavorable photoacoustic properties. The system consists of a seed laser diode, a tapered amplifier and a quartz tuning fork based spectrophone, thus employing quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS). With this system a detection limit of 13 ppm is reached with a compact and long term sta...
