Introduction to the quartz tuning fork [PDF]

open access: yesAmerican Journal of Physics, 2007
We discuss various aspects of the quartz tuning fork, ranging from its original purpose as a high quality factor resonator for use as a stable frequency reference, to more exotic applications in sensing and scanning probe microscopy. We show experimentally how to tune the quality factor by injecting energy in phase with the current at resonance ...

Additively Manufactured Detection Module with Integrated Tuning Fork for Enhanced Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy

open access: yesSensors, 2022
Starting from Quartz-Enhanced Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy (QEPAS), we have explored the potential of a tightly linked method of gas/vapor sensing, from now on referred to as Tuning-Fork-Enhanced Photo-Acoustic Spectroscopy (TFEPAS). TFEPAS utilizes a non-

Photoacoustic spectroscopy for gas sensing: A comparison between piezoelectric and interferometric readout in custom quartz tuning forks

open access: yesPhotoacoustics, 2020
We report on a comparison between piezoelectric and interferometric readouts of vibrations in quartz tuning forks (QTFs) when acting as sound wave transducers in a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic setup (QEPAS) for trace gas detection.

Quartz tuning fork embedded off-beam quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy

open access: yesOptics Letters, 2019
In order to achieve a high acoustic coupling strength and detection sensitivity and to simplify the assembly and alignment process in quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) technique, a novel quartz tuning fork (QTF) embedded off-beam QEPAS (E-OB-QEPAS) spectrophone was proposed.
