Abstract
A ppb-level sulfur dioxide (SO2) monitoring platform was developed by exploiting standard photoacoustic spectroscopy and a novel, highly stable UV laser. A 266.22 nm LD-pumped solid-state, acousto-optic modulator Q-switched laser with high beam quality (M2 =1.0275) and excellent output optical power stability (δPσ ˂ 1 % ∼24 h) was selected as light source of the photoacoustic sensor. The performance of the SO2 sensor was evaluated in terms of gas flow rate, pressure, and detection sensitivity. An ultimate detection limit of 3 ppb for SO2 detection in N2 was demonstrated with 1 s integration time, in laboratory environment. Continuous outdoor monitoring for five days verified the excellent stability and reliability of the reported SO2 photoacoustic sensor.

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.
