A 3D-PRINTED MICRORESONATOR BASED ON THE QUARTZ-ENHANCED PHOTOACOUSTIC SPECTROSCOPY SENSOR FOR METHANE DETECTION
Abstract
A 3D-printed microresonator based on a quartz tuning fork has been developed. The sensor performance is evaluated by detection of methane with a fiber-coupled distributed feedback diode laser. In combination with wavelength modulation spectroscopy, a minimum detectable concentration of 15.6 ppb by volume is achieved at atmospheric pressure with an 8-mW average optical excitation power and a lock-in amplifier time constant of 1 s, which corresponds to a 1σ normalized noise equivalent absorption coefficient of 5×10- 9 cm- 1 × W/Hz1/ 2 . An Allan variance analysis shows that the system has long-term stability and can serve as the basis for a portable gas analyzer. Approaches to improve the current sensor performance are also discussed. This design greatly reduces the time of manufacturing the microresonator.
