Abstract:
|
An electromechanical film, EMFi, is utilized as a transducer in a photoacoustic (PA) gas sensor. The film is a sensitive acoustic transducer, it is easily formable, and it exhibits a wide frequency response regardless of its large surface area. As a demonstration of its capabilities, the EMFi-based PA detector is used to measure NO2 with pulsed excitation at 436 and 473 nm. The minimum detectable absorption coefficient is extrapolated to be 5•10−7 cm−1. Improvements for EMFi-based PA detector are discussed. |
