Multi-quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy [PDF]
Applied Physics Letters, 2015 A multi-quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (M-QEPAS) sensor system for trace gas detection is reported. Instead of a single quartz tuning fork (QTF) as used in QEPAS technique, a dual QTF sensor platform was adopted in M-QEPAS to increase the signal strength by the addition of the detected QEPAS signals.

Improved Tuning Fork for Terahertz Quartz-Enhanced Photoacoustic Spectroscopy. [PDF]
Sensors (Basel), 2016 We report on a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic (QEPAS) sensor for methanol (CH3OH) detection employing a novel quartz tuning fork (QTF), specifically designed to enhance the QEPAS sensing performance in the terahertz (THz) spectral range. A discussion of the QTF properties in terms of resonance frequency, quality factor and acousto-electric transduction ...
