This report details the design and performance of a unique energy meter for pulsed sources based on the optoacoustic (OA) phenomenon and a Helmholtz resonator (HR) cell (1,2). This new instrument accomplishes a time domain change, converting short optical pulses of varying duration into a slower acoustic pulse that can be measured with simple detection electronics. An inexpensive sample-and-hold amplifier was employed. The OA energy meter accurately produces a dc voltage corresponding to the energy/pulse of a single laser pulse or the average value for a train of pulses over a wide input pulse energy range.","PeriodicalId":202661,"journal":{"name":"Second International Meeting on Photoacoustic Spectroscopy","volume":"10 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":"121003936","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}

The amplitude of those temperature fluctuations depends on the absorption spectrum of the sample and may be measured photothermally by observing similar pulsations in the thermal reradiation. The scanning photoacoustic microscope is based on this concept by incorporating a focused laser beam as the illumination source. With either He-Ne-3.39 μm- or CO2-10.6 μm-laser lines a spatial resolution of better than 0.1 mm can be achieved. For photothermal detection PXE-ceramics is used as infrared detector. Microscopy is carried out by recording the output of the lock-in amplifier as the sample is scanned mechanically in the x-y-plane. The aim of the work is the application of the photoacoustic technique to the evaluation of thermal properties of thin layered structures simulating human skin tissue. In collaboration with the medical school of the University of Heidelberg the possibility of developing a new specific thermographic method will be studied which should be applied for medical diagnosis of cancerous skin tissue and for temperature regulation studies of breast skin tissue for mamma cancer screening.","PeriodicalId":202661,"journal":{"name":"Second International Meeting on Photoacoustic Spectroscopy","volume":"110 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":"117210748","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}

First it must be shown that nonstatistical rates of reactions can be induced. Progress in this field has been moderately encouraging in that the systems studied are suggestive of small rate enhancements. The best case observed is the isomerization of allylisocyanide to allycyanide by Reddy and Berry.2 This unimolecular reaction was initiated with a single photon corresponding to the energy of a C-H overtone stretching vibration. The three different C-H bonds were excited with varying quanta and a direct correlation between the bond excited and the rate of isomerization was observed. When the isomerization rates are compared to the theoretical \"thermal\" expectations (RRKM) it is concluded that the overtone vibrational energy has not been throughly redistributed on the time scale for reaction.","PeriodicalId":202661,"journal":{"name":"Second International Meeting on Photoacoustic Spectroscopy","volume":"34 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":"128160935","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}

The technique is nondestructive and responds only to absorbed light. Unloaded Teflon filters of the type used routinely by the USEPA in dichotomous samplers do not absorb visible light so that no pre-loading measurement is necessary. Previous studies of the photoacoustic (PA) response to soot loaded on Teflon filters have shown that: (1) at 100 Hz and 1000 Hz chopping frequencies the PA signal due to soot loading does not saturate even for loadings at which the sample is totally opaque, i.e., βℓ>31; (2) thermal wave interference effects are evident in the photoacoustic analysis of soot samples2; (3) the perturbation of the signal from soot, when typical ambient loadings of (NH4)2SO4 are admixed is considerably less (±10%) than the perturbation that occurs in light transmission measurements.3 Item (1) precludes the use of simplifying assumptions in relating PA response to the light absorption parameter βℓ. Item (2) explains item (1).
