Abstract

A photoacoustic detector includes a sensing region for receiving atmospheric samples. One microphone receives acoustic samples from the sensing region. Another microphone receives acoustic samples from a displaced region. Microphone outputs can be subtracted to eliminate common noise and to generate an indicium of gas present in the sensing region.
