Quartz optoacoustic apparatus for highly corrosive gases

Abstract
In this paper we report on a new optoacoustic apparatus designed for the study of highly corrosive gases. The sound transducer is a thin quartz membrane sintered to one end of the solid quartz acoustic chamber. Measurements were performed on iodine chloride. Construction details, performance characteristics and the usage of the system in the study of the photo‐induced reaction between ICP and C2H2 are described.
