Paper Abstract
We will report here on the design and realization of optoacoustic sensors based on an external cavity QCL laser source
emitting at 10,54 μm, fiber-coupled with a QEPAS spectrophone module. SF6 has been selected as the target gas. Single
mode laser delivery through the prongs of the quartz tuning fork has been realized using a hollow waveguide fiber with
internal core size of 300 μm. The achieved sensitivity of the system was 50 part per trillion in 1 s corresponding to a
record for QEPAS normalized noise-equivalent absorption of 2,7•10-10 W•cm-1•Hz-1/2.
