“…PA sensors measure directly the small fraction of light absorbed by the gas sample within the PA cell. A great variety of PA cell designs have been proposed and applied to trace gas monitoring: acoustically resonant PA cells [7] , [8] , [9] , eventually equipped with a resonance locking circuitry [10] or combined with a special resonance frequency tracking method [11] ; open cells [12] , [13] ; cells with special geometry [14] , [15] ; multipass cells [16] ; heatable cells [17] ; intracavity cells [18] ; parallel cells [19] and multifunctional, compact and miniaturized cells [20] , [21] , [22] . 3-D printing has also been applied to the fabrication of miniature PA cells [23] .…”
