Abstract

A photoacoustic detector unit comprises a housing having an opening, and also a photoacoustic transducer designed to convert optical radiation into at least one from a pressure signal or a heat signal. The photoacoustic transducer covers the opening of the housing, such that the photoacoustic transducer and the housing form an acoustically tight cavity. A pressure pick-up is arranged in the acoustically tight cavity.
