Photoacoustic effect was discovered in

1880 by Alexander Graham Bell

This theoretical potential has not

been reached, since conventional

microphones have been used for

sensing the pressure pulses

Gasera’s novel cantilever sensor

technology allows the use of the full

potential of the photoacoustic

phenomena

Photoacoustic spectroscopy is based on the absorption of light leading to the local warming of the absorbing

volume element. The subsequent expansion of the volume element generates a pressure wave proportional to

the absorbed energy, which can be detected via a pressure detector.

Gasera’s key inventions

Cantilever sensorOver 100 times greater physical movement can be achieved compared to conventional microphone membrane

Highly linear response

Optical readout systemContactless optical measurement based on laser interferometry

Measures cantilever displacements smaller than picometer (10-12 m)

Extremely wide dynamic measurement range

Benefits of cantilever enhanced PAS

- 7 -

Absorption is measured directly in PAS which makes the measurement very accurate and free of drift -> stability and reliability, easy to use

Cantilever sensor provides high sensitivity –> below ppb detection limits

Sensitivity is not dependent on the optical path length -> wide linear dynamic range, miniaturization, low sample volume

Many different sources can be connected to one cell -> multi-gas capability

Possibility to heat the sample cell -> suitable to wide range of process applications
