摘要 |
A method for photoacoustically sensing oxygen in a gaseous sample is disclosed, together with an apparatus for practicing the present method. Efficient and cost-effective oxygen sensing is provided by the use of a light source in the form of a light-emitting diode, which can be selected to correspond with the absorption spectra exhibited by oxygen in a gaseous sample. Filtering can be employed in order to control and narrow the wavelength of light emitted by the light source. An apparatus is disclosed which facilitates practice of the present method, including an arrangement by which ambient noise and vibration can be canceled.
