CREOBONAS: The QEPAS sensor(Quartz Enhanced Photo Acoustic Spectroscopy)
OC
REO
–SS 1
Principle of Operation: An InfraRed laser beam is focused between the prongs of a QuartzTuning Fork QTF. The laser amplitude is modulated at the QTF resonant frequency. Anacoustic wave is generated when the laser wavelength matches roto vibrational transitions of7 Loc. B
oschett
acoustic wave is generated when the laser wavelength matches roto-vibrational transitions ofgas molecules that are present between the prongs. The photo-acoustic signal is proportionalto the concentration of the gas and to the laser power.
Features: High sensitivity comparable to conventional PAS systems; very compact robustto –67100 L’A
q
Features: High sensitivity, comparable to conventional PAS systems; very compact, robustand cost-effective design; detects and quantifies traces in extremely small gas samples (fewcubic millimeters); immune to ambient acoustic noise.
