Abstract

A photoacoustic spectroscopy method and apparatus for maintaining an acoustic source frequency on a sample cell resonance frequency comprising: providing an acoustic source to the sample cell to generate a photoacoustic signal, the acoustic source having a source frequency; continuously measuring detection phase of the photoacoustic signal with respect to source frequency or a harmonic thereof; and employing the measured detection phase to provide magnitude and direction for correcting the source frequency to the resonance frequency.

Acoustic resonance frequency locked photoacoustic spectrometer

Patent Pilgrim, Jeffrey S. ; Bomse, David S. ; Silver, Joel A.

A photoacoustic spectroscopy method and apparatus for maintaining an acoustic source frequency on a sample cell resonance frequency comprising: providing an acoustic source to the sample cell, the acoustic source having a source frequency; repeatedly and continuously sweeping the source frequency across the resonance frequency at a sweep rate; and employing an odd-harmonic of the source frequency sweep rate to maintain the source frequency sweep centered on the resonance frequency.

Sensitive gas-phase photoacoustic spectrometer with provision for simultaneous recording of absorption spectrum

Journal Article Chakrapani, G ; Venkateswarlu, P ; Rao, Y V ; ... - Rev. Sci. Instrum.; (United States)

The design of a sensitive pulsed photoacoustic spectrometer system for studying media in gaseous phase in the visible and ultraviolet regions is described. The system provides for simultaneous recording of the laser absorption spectrum of the sample by measuring the radiation transmitted through the sample cell. A highly sensitive optogalvanic detection subassembly for recording the calibration spectrum and analog signal processing/averaging electronics including gated integrators also form part of the system. Typical sensitivities of detection are a few tens of picobar acoustic pressure disturbances induced through two-photon absorption in iodine vapor in the sample cell and 0.1 pC charge fluctuationmore »« less

Phase reference materials for photoacoustic spectroscopy

Conference Jones, R ; Bajic, S ; McClelland, J ; ...

Interest in the phase of photoacoustic signals has increased greatly since the advent of phase modulation in FTIR spectroscopy. The photoacoustic phase provides information on the depth of the light-absorbing species within a solid sample. A spectroscopist needs data from a phase-reference material for standardizing phase measurements and for correcting the instrumental effects on the observed phase. Unfortunately, there is no universally accepted phase-reference material. The authors have studied the photoacoustic-signal phase and magnitude behavior for several potential phase-reference materials as a function of experimental parameters, such as beam modulation frequency, sample position in the photoacoustic cell, and cell purgemore »« less

Resonant cell laser-based photoacoustic densitometer for thin-layer chromatography

Journal Article Kawazumi, H ; Yeung, E S - Appl. Spectrosc.; (United States)

Photoacoustic spectroscopy was applied to the in situ densitometry of thin-layer chromatographic plates. Fast laser-scanning detection with signal enhancement was demonstrated at a resonant frequency of the cell. The use of phase difference between signal and background provided higher signal-to-noise ratios. Detection limit for Orange G was 170 pg, and the analytical curve was linear over three orders of magnitude.

High sensitivity photoacoustic spectrometer for variable temperature solution studies

Journal Article Beitz, J V ; Doxtader, M M ; Maroni, V A ; ... - Review of Scientific Instruments; (USA)

A single beam, dual cell, photoacoustic spectrometer has been developed for use with solutions from ambient temperature to the boiling point of the liquid. The optical absorbance sensitivity of the apparatus is 3{times}10{sup {minus}7} absorbance units per cm (base 10 logarithm, 1000 pulse average, 13 mJ/pulse) for solutes in aqueous solution at 90 {degree}C, using an excimer-pumped dye laser as the light source. The cell assembly is designed to thermally isolate the acoustic detector and prevent evaporative loss of the solvent. High accuracy subtraction of solvent optical absorption is achieved using preamplifiers with continuously variable gain, matched electrical bandpass filters,more »« less
