We report on the first demonstration of a quartz enhanced photo-acoustic (QEPAS) sensor in the Terahertz (THz) range. The sensor is based on a QCL emitting at 3.93 THz and a customized quartz tuning fork. For methanol detection we reached a normalized noise-equivalent absorption of 2×10 -10 cm -1 W/Hz ½ comparable with the best result of mid-IR QEPAS.

Abstract

We report on the first demonstration of a quartz enhanced photo-acoustic (QEPAS) sensor in the Terahertz (THz) range. The sensor is based on a QCL emitting at 3.93 THz and a customized quartz tuning fork. For methanol detection we reached a normalized noise-equivalent absorption of 2×10 -10 cm -1 W/Hz ½ comparable with the best result of mid-IR QEPAS.
