Clamp-type quartz tuning fork enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy
In this Letter, clamp-type quartz tuning fork enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (Clamp-type QEPAS) is proposed and realized through the design, realization, and testing of clamp-type quartz tuning forks (QTFs) for photoacoustic gas sensing.

Spatially engineered optical–acoustic matching in quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy
Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) offers high sensitivity for trace-gas detection, but its performance is often limited by a spatial mismatch between distributed photoacoustic excitation and the intrinsic sensitivity region of the quartz

Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy [PDF]
A new approach to detecting a weak photoacoustic signal in a gas medium is described. Instead of a gas-filled resonant acoustic cavity, the sound energy is accumulated in a high- Q crystal element. Feasibility experiments utilizing a quartz-watch tuning fork demonstrate a sensitivity of 1.2x10(-7) cm(-1) W/ radicalHz .
