To compare interferometric and piezoelectric readouts, two QTFs have been selected a tuning fork with rectangular-shape of the prongs, having a resonance frequency of 3.4 kHz and a quality-factor of 4,000, and a QTF with prong having a T-shape characterized by a resonance frequency of 12.4 kHz with a quality-factor of 15,000. A theoretical model relating the prong vibration amplitude with the QTF prong sizes and electrical resistance is proposed. We demonstrated that the QTF geometry can be properly designed to enhance the signal from a specific readout mode.ĪB - We report on a comparison between piezoelectric and interferometric readouts of vibrations in quartz tuning forks (QTFs) when acting as sound wave transducers in a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic setup (QEPAS) for trace gas detection.
