The PolySense team has just published  a new article on Photoacoustics Journal Elsevier (IF 5.87)  demonstrating that  quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is an efficient tool to measure the vibrational relaxation rate of gas species, employing quartz tuning forks (QTFs) as sound detectors. The following link provide access to the article. http://polysense.poliba.it/wp-content/uploads/2020/12/124_Relaxation-rate-_photoacoustics_2020.pdf

The PolySense team has just published a new article on Molecules journal reporting on the realization of an innovative near-IR sensor exploiting a novel fiber-coupled ADM and a custom fiber combiner for sequential detection of methane and ethane in air. A minimum detection limit of 0.76 ppm for methane and 34 ppm for ethane at 100 Leggi di piùNew publication on Molecules[…]

The PolySense team has just published  a new article on Optics Express demonstrating an ultra-highly sensitive and robust CH4 sensor based on a 3.3 μm interband cascade laser and a low-noise differential photoacoustic (PAS) cell. With an integration time of 90 s, a detection limit of 0.6 ppb was achieved. No additional water or air laser Leggi di piùNew Publication on Optics Express[…]

The PolySense team has just published  a new article on Optics Express demonstrating the possibility to use  QTFs as photodetectors in a TDLAS sensor, exploiting the light induced thermo-elastic effect occurring when the laser light hits a QTF surface. In the best experimental conditions, QTF as light detector showed an SNR 6.5 times higher than that Leggi di piùNew Publication on Optics Express[…]
