Photoacoustic spectroscopy approach enables real-time detection of low gas concentrations
A new method for detecting and identifying gases at very low concentrations in real time adds coherent control to quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy, which uses a quartz tuning fork to detect gas absorption. Credit: Florian Sterl, Sterltech Optics GmbH Researchers have developed a new method to quickly detect and identify gases at very low concentrations. This new approach, called coherently controlled…

Compact all-fiber photoacoustic spectrometer for intravascular gas detection comparable to laboratory-based systems
Fiber photoacoustic spectrometer allows continuous intravascular gas monitoring. Credit: Jun Ma (Jinan University) Compact spectroscopic systems capable of detecting trace concentrations at parts per billion (ppb) levels are of paramount importance in applications ranging from environmental monitoring and industrial process control to biomedical diagnostics. However, existing benchtop spectroscopy systems are too large, complex, and impractical for use in confined spaces.…
