However, this correspondence between the object and the image need not always be present in an optical instrument, in which case we say the instrument is non-imaging. We do not consider such an instrument in this report. We do wish to discuss, however, a loosely-defined class of optical systems called scanning systems. This class includes systems with multiple transmitters and receivers, complicated scanner motions, synthetic apertures, etc. We direct our attention, however, only to systems where the object is time-sequentially scanned by a spatially localized beam. Furthermore, the entire instantaneous image, or intermediate image, produced by the scanning system is integrated according to some summation law. The integrated signal constitutes the intensity of the image point corresponding to the object point being scanned at that instant. When all integrated image points are displayed on a map according to their corresponding object positions we have the integrated scan image, and hence we call this system integrated scanning.","PeriodicalId":202661,"journal":{"name":"Second International Meeting on Photoacoustic Spectroscopy","volume":"215 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"121292557","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

It consists of a sapphire-window and a piezoelectric crystal mounted tightly together in a metal frame (Figure 1). The sapphire-window is sensing temperature variations in the sample due to absorption of pulsed radiation. The sapphire is then exhibiting a periodical length expansion which is measured with the piezoelectric crystal. The new cell is in some senses similar to the acoustically closed cell using a gas volume and a microphone to measure the variation in the sample temperature. It has for instance the same chopper frequency dependence. The methods for depth discrimination2 and for absolute determination of absorption coefficient suggested for the closed cell3-6 can therefore be applied to this new cell. The main difference to the usual cell is that this new cell is open and is well suited for measurements on liquids. Measurements on liquids have been done by Patel et al7 using a hydrophone. An open photoacoustic cell gives the experimentator additional freedom. The sample can be affected during the measurement for instance by addition of substances or by exposure to a controlled atmosphere. The cell can also be modified to allow the sample to flow through the cell which gives the possibility to make on line measurements in a system with flowing liquids. The new cell gives the additional freedom to measure from the bottom or from one side as well as from the top of a sample volume.","PeriodicalId":202661,"journal":{"name":"Second International Meeting on Photoacoustic Spectroscopy","volume":"22 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"1900-01-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116970804","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

On another point of view, if other optical ranges are considered (UV for example) absorption is not negligeable and must be known.
