Abstract
Photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) has been widely used for detecting trace gases, but enhancing sound pressure detection capability of the acoustic sensor is crucial for improving gas detection sensitivity of the PAS system. In this paper, a complementary interdigital (CID) cantilever Fabry-Perot (F-P) fiber optic acoustic sensor (FOAS) was developed. Experimental results demonstrated that the CID cantilever operated at its resonance frequency of 1010 Hz exhibited a high sensitivity of 923.7 nm/Pa, and exhibited a signal-to-noise ratio of 72.2 dB and a minimum detectable pressure of 16.4 μPa/Hz 1/2 at 1 kHz. In the concentration range of 20 ppm to 100 ppm, the sensitivity of PAS to C₂H₂ gas was 3.02 pm/ppm and the detection limits of C₂H₂ in N₂ background was 30.17 ppb. This design employs highly sensitive cantilevers with tunable resonance, enhancing the gas detection sensitivity of the PAS system by leveraging resonant frequency matching and signal amplification.

期刊介绍:
The open access Photoacoustics journal (PACS) aims to publish original research and review contributions in the field of photoacoustics-optoacoustics-thermoacoustics. This field utilizes acoustical and ultrasonic phenomena excited by electromagnetic radiation for the detection, visualization, and characterization of various materials and biological tissues, including living organisms.
Recent advancements in laser technologies, ultrasound detection approaches, inverse theory, and fast reconstruction algorithms have greatly supported the rapid progress in this field. The unique contrast provided by molecular absorption in photoacoustic-optoacoustic-thermoacoustic methods has allowed for addressing unmet biological and medical needs such as pre-clinical research, clinical imaging of vasculature, tissue and disease physiology, drug efficacy, surgery guidance, and therapy monitoring.
Applications of this field encompass a wide range of medical imaging and sensing applications, including cancer, vascular diseases, brain neurophysiology, ophthalmology, and diabetes. Moreover, photoacoustics-optoacoustics-thermoacoustics is a multidisciplinary field, with contributions from chemistry and nanotechnology, where novel materials such as biodegradable nanoparticles, organic dyes, targeted agents, theranostic probes, and genetically expressed markers are being actively developed.
These advanced materials have significantly improved the signal-to-noise ratio and tissue contrast in photoacoustic methods.
