Quartz tuning forks resonance frequency matching for laser spectroscopy sensing [PDF]
In this paper, we report on the performance of quartz tuning fork (QTF) based laser spectroscopy sensing employing multiple QTFs. To avoid that resonance frequency mismatching of the QTFs degrades the sensor performance, two types of resonance frequency ...

Compact GC-QEPAS for On-Site Analysis of Chemical Threats
This paper reports on a compact, portable, and selective chemical sensor for hazardous vapors at trace levels, which is under development and validation within the EU project H2020 “RISEN”. Starting from the prototype developed for a previous EU project, here, we implemented an updated two-stage purge and trap vapor pre-concentration system, a more ...

Low noise, open-source QEPAS system with instrumentation amplifier [PDF]
AbstractQuartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is a rapidly developing, ultrasensitive method for trace gas sensing. Adequate electronic amplifier, well matched to the quartz characteristics is crucial for overall system performance. Here we present an open source circuit for QEPAS signal amplification.

Sub-parts-per-trillion level sensitivity in trace gas detection by cantilever-enhanced photo-acoustic spectroscopy [PDF]
An exceptional property of photo-acoustic spectroscopy is the zero-background in wavelength modulation configuration while the signal varies linearly as a function of absorbed laser power.
