Abstract

The present invention relates to a photoacoustic gas sensor utilizing diffusion having a sensing volume and an acoustic pressure sensor volume containing an acoustic pressure sensor such that the fluid connection between the sensing volume and the acoustic pressure sensor volume restricts the flow of analyte gas therethrough but does not restrict the transmission of the photoacoustic signal therethrough.
