3D-printed miniature gas cell for photoacoustic spectroscopy of trace gases.
A new methodology for the development of miniature photoacoustic trace gas sensors using 3D printing is presented. A near-infrared distributed feedback (DFB) laser is used together with a polymer-based gas cell, off-the-shelf fiber optic collimators, and a microelectromechanical system (MEMS) microphone to measure acetylene at 1532.83 nm. The resonance behavior of the miniature gas cell is anal...
متن کاملTHz QCL-Based Cryogen-Free Spectrometer for in Situ Trace Gas Sensing
We report on a set of high-sensitivity terahertz spectroscopy experiments making use of QCLs to detect rotational molecular transitions in the far-infrared. We demonstrate that using a compact and transportable cryogen-free setup, based on a quantum cascade laser in a closed-cycle Stirling cryostat, and pyroelectric detectors, a considerable improvement in sensitivity can be obtained by impleme...

متن کاملTerahertz-frequency Spectroscopy as a Technique for the Remote Detection of Biological Warfare Agents
This paper discusses the potential use of terahertzfrequency spectroscopy as a technique for the remote detection of biological warfare agents. Here, design studies are presented for a differential-absorption-radar (DAR) approach that utilizes the spectral signatures of Bacillus (B.) subtillus spores within the terahertz (THz) regime as the detection mechanism. The signature data used in these ...
متن کاملContinuously Tunable 250 GHz Gyrotron with a Double Disk Window for DNP-NMR Spectroscopy.
In this paper, we describe the design and experimental results from the rebuild of a 250 GHz gyrotron used for Dynamic Nuclear Polarization enhanced Nuclear Magnetic Resonance spectroscopy on a 380 MHz spectrometer. Tuning bandwidth of approximately 2 GHz is easily achieved at a fixed magnetic field of 9.24 T and a beam current of 95 mA producing an average output power of >10 W over the entire...
