Versatile Lithium Niobate Platform for Photoacoustic/Thermoelastic Gas Sensing and Photodetection

We present a lithium niobate multi-functional platform (LN-MFP) that integrates photoacoustic and thermoelastic spectroscopy with photodetection on a single chip. Utilizing LN's piezoelectric and thermoelastic properties and an optimized design, it achieves high sensitivity across visible to long-wave infrared wavelengths. We demonstrate photoacoustic/thermoelastic gas sensing and photodetection using LN-MFP. The compact, integrated system with custom packaging and direct wire bonding reduces complexity and size, enabling portable, scalable sensing for environmental and diagnostic applications.

Lithium niobate-enhanced laser photoacoustic spectroscopy

In this paper, the photoacoustic spectroscopy technique based on lithium niobate crystals is initially reported, to our knowledge. A novel dual-cantilever tuning fork structure and new electrodes have been designed using Y-cut 128{\deg} blackened lithium niobate wafers. The tuning fork, with a resonant frequency of only 10.46 kHz and a prong gap of 1 mm, is engineered to achieve superior performance in photoacoustic spectroscopy. In the demonstration experiment, acetylene was detected using a 1.53 um semiconductor laser, achieving a detection limit of about 9 ppb within a one-second integration time.
