Abstract

We present a simple and highly sensitive cantileverenhanced photo-acoustic sensor for detection of nitrogen dioxide. A noise equivalent detection limit of 50 parts-per-trillion in 1 s is demonstrated. The limit was reached with an average optical power of 4.7 W using a continuous-wave laser at 532 nm. The achieved normalized noise equivalent absorption coefficient was 2.6 × 10^-10 W cm^-1 Hz^-1/2.
