Abstract

Nearly one hundred years after Bells discovery, resonant photoacoustic spectroscopy awoke from a long sleep. The introduction of lasers as radiation sources has led to rapid development of photoacoustics in the last ten years. Experimental results obtained under carefully optimized conditions are now in good agreement with theory of resonators. We can expect that new applications of resonant photoacoustic spectroscopy will be found in the near future. An important impetus in this research comes from the laser sources available. For many applications the doping procedure using a small amount of a highly absorbant gas in a mixture can be applied. This allows the manifold utilization of a single frequency laser. However, innovations in laser technology will open up new possibilities to photoacoustic research. In the past, the treatment of analytical problems such as trace gas analysis was dominant, but recently new applications of resonant photoacoustic spectroscopy have been reported and such progress can be expected to continue.
