Abstract


The development of photoacoustic spectroscopy is being driven by the growing demand for precise, efficient, and reliable detection methods that can be used for in situ measurements and real-time monitoring. Along with rapid technological progress, photoacoustic spectroscopy became an ultra-sensitive, selective, cost-effective technique that can meet the demanding requirements for environmental monitoring, industrial safety, and medical diagnostics. This paper highlights how continuous improvements in photoacoustic technologies, including the use of appropriate laser sources as well as sensing elements, and machine learning methods, are pushing the limits of gases and solid analysis and providing critical tools for addressing modern scientific and industrial challenges.
