Abstract: | The paper presents a concept of photoacoustic
measurements based on use of two different light wavelengths which
intensities are modulated with sine waves of the same frequency but with
phase difference of 90 degrees. Resultant photoacoustic signal is of the
same frequency, but its amplitude and phase depends on the absorption at
both wavelengths. Taking into consideration that sine and cosine are
orthogonal functions, and having measured amplitude of the photoacoustic
signal and its phase referred to the phase of the stimulating light
modulation, it is possible to retrieve both components corresponding to sine
and cosine modulation. As a result, the method can be applied to
simultaneous detection of two compounds. An important advantage of the
method is that it can be comfortably used with high Q-factor cells. |
