Abstract

When open photoacoustic cells are considered, attenuation of external noise is a serious issue. This paper describes how mechanical dimensions of a differential open photoacoustic Helmholtz cell influence its signal-to-noise (S/N) ratio. The analysis was performed by means of computer simulations based on the loss-improved transmission line model. This research showed that the mechanical parameters noticeably affect the signal-to-noise ratio. According to the presented results, optimal selection of the dimensions is a factor which can substantially improve the signal-to-noise ratio of the examined photoacoustic cell. Due to the very good acoustic properties of the cell, it should be possible to obtain an S/N ratio of over 100 dB.
