“…Among various configurations, sensors based on dome-like gas cells [44,47,50,59], allow for planar integration of emitters and detectors, and could be used to further reduce their size. The main challenge is the relatively small pathlengths, l , which can be addressed by further device optimization, e.g., based on multi-pass designs [57,74,111], or use of photonic crystals [55,112] or optical cavities [56] for enhanced absorption. More recently, photoacoustic gas sensors, based on low-cost commercially available MEMS microphones have emerged as simple, compact, and highly reliable devices [15,50].…”
