Benzene sensing by Quartz Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy at 14.85 µm
Benzene is a gas known to be highly pollutant for the environment, for the water and cancerogenic for humans. In this paper, we present a sensor based on Quartz Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy dedicated to benzene analysis. Exploiting the infrared emission of a 14.85 µm quantum cascade laser, the sensor is working in an off-beam configuration ...

Dual-frequency modulated heterodyne quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy
A novel dual-frequency modulated heterodyne quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (DFH-QEPAS) was demonstrated for what we believe to be the first time in this study. In traditional H-QEPAS, the frequency of modulated sinusoidal wave has a frequency difference (Δf) with the resonance frequency (f0) of a quartz tuning fork (QTF).
