Quantum Cascade Laser-Based Photoacoustic Sensor for Trace Detection of Formaldehyde Gas
We report on the development of a photoacoustic sensor for the detection of formaldehyde (CH2O) using a thermoelectrically cooled distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser operating in pulsed mode at 5.6 mm. A resonant photoacoustic cell, equipped with four electret microphones, is excited in its f...
