광 흡수체로부터 측정되는 광음향 신호의 크기가 광 흡수계수 값의 증가에 따라 증가하다가 포화되는 광음향 비선형성에 대한 기존의 분석에서는 초음파 측정기의 물리적 형태를 고려하지 않았다. 이 논문에서는 초음파 측정기의 구면 초점 형태가 광음향 비선형성에 미치는 영향을 분석하였다. 구면 초점 초음파 측정기의 공간 필터링에 의한 광음향 공명 현상을 고려하고 기존의 광음향 비선형성에 대한 연구 방법을 보완하여 구면 초점 초음파 측정기로 측정한 광음향 신호에 대한 해석식을 이론적으로 유도하였다. 이 해석식에 의한 결과는 광음향 신호가 특정한 광 흡수계수 값에서 최대값을 나타내고 최대값 이후로는 광 흡수계수 값의 증가에 따라 오히려 감소함을 보였다. 주파수 영역에서 구면 초점 초음파 측정기에 의해 측정된 광음향 신호의 공명 스펙트럼과 초음파 측정기의 주파수 전달 함수를 비교하여 이 기존의 통념과는 다른 특징을 보이는 광음향 비선형성을 이해하였다. 또한, 이 주파수 영역에서의 물리적 해석으로 인해 광음향을 발생시키는 광 흡수체 내부의 광 조도 형태도 광음향 비선형성에 영향을 미친다는 것을 알 수 있었다.

Ethene ($C_2H_4$), which is produced in plants as they mature, was used to study its photoacoustic properties using photoacoustic spectroscopy. Detection of trace amounts, with $N_2$ gas, of $C_2H_4$ gas was also applied. The gas was tested in various conditions-temperature, concentration of the gas, gas cell length, and power of the laser- to determine their effect on the photoacoustic signal, the ideal conditions to detect trace gas amounts, and concentration of $C_2H_4$ produced by an avocado and a banana. A detection limit of 10 ppm was determined for pure $C_2H_4$. A detection of 5% and 13% (by volume) concentration of $C_2H_4$ was produced for a ripening avocado and banana, respectively, in closed space.

The photophone, Alexander Graham Bell's device for transmitting sound through light was patented in 1880. It included the transmitter modulating and reflecting strong light like sunlight to a distant receiver which produced sound. In this working of the photophone, the discovery of the sound-emitting effect under illumination was very essential. Longing for being famous in the scientific community, Bell focused on presenting various methods for producing sounds and for maximizing the loudness by performing intensive research on the photoacoustic effect. Bell's scientific research on photoacoustics was successful in establishing himself as a scientist and laid a foundation of photoacoustic analysis. And his invention became a basis for other researchers' subsequent technologies like fiber-optic communication.

A new laser Doppler velocimeter employing a $CO_2$ laser has been developed by using its photoacoustic effect. A change in the pressure of a discharge, induced by mixing of a returned wave with an originally existing wave inside the cavity, is employed to detect the Doppler frequency shift. We found that a Doppler frequency shift as much as 34 KHz was detected, and also a good linear relationship between the velocity and the Doppler frequency shift was obtained.

A pressure wave created by the photoacoustic effect is affected by the medium and by laser parameters. The effect of these parameters on the generated pressure wave can be seen by solving the photoacoustic wave equation. These solutions which are examined in the time domain and the frequency domain should be considered by researchers in acoustic sensor design. In particular, frequency domain analysis contains significant information for designing the sensor. The most important part of this information is the determination of the operating frequency of the sensor. In this work, the laser parameters to excite the medium, and the acoustic signal parameters created by the medium are analyzed. For the first time, we have obtained solutions for situations which have no frequency domain solutions in the literature. The main focal point in this work is that the frequency domain solutions of the acoustic wave equation are performed and the effects of the frequency analysis of the related parameters are shown comparatively from the viewpoint of using them in acoustic sensor designs.

Temperature was considered to estimate the minimum detectable absorption coefficient of aerosol particles from photothermal spectroscopy. Light energy absorbed by subsequent emission from the aerosol results in the heating of the aerosol sample and consequently causes a temperature change as well as changes in thermodynamic parameters of the sample. This thermal effect is the basis of photothermal spectroscopy. Photothermal spectroscopy has several types of techniques depending on how the photothermal effects are detected. Photothermal interferometry traces the photothermal effect, refractive index, using an interferometer. Photoacoustic spectroscopy detects the photothermal effect, sound wave, using a microphone. In this study, it is suggested that the detection limit for photothermal spectroscopy can be influenced by the introduction of a slip correction factor when the light absorption is determined in a high temperature environment. The minimum detectable absorption coefficient depends on the density, the specific heat and the temperature, which are thermodynamic properties. Without considering the slip correction, when the temperature of the environment is 400 K, the minimum detectable absorption coefficient for photothermal interferometry increases approximately 0.3% compared to the case of 300 K. The minimum detectable absorption coefficient for photoacoustic spectroscopy decreases only 0.2% compared to the case of 300 K. Photothermal interferometry differs only 0.5% point from photoacoustic spectroscopy. Thus, it is believed that photothermal interferometry is reliably comparable to photoacoustic spectroscopy under 400 K.

We stabilized the frequency and power of a high voltage excited CW CO2 laser on the peak of the Doppler broadened gain curve using the photoacoustic effect generated from the laser itself. The photoacoustic signal is directly coupled from an radio frequency discharge chamber via a capacitor microphone into a detector and a lock-in stabilizer. The frequency stability is estimated to be better then 1.2×10/sup -7/ at the transition P(20) line. The stabilized output power variation was reduced to from 77 % to 3.3 %.

The effects of simetryne on light induced electron transport and phosphorylation in isolated spinach (Spinacia oleracea L.) chloroplasts were investigated in comparison with sencor and DCMU. Simetryne, like sencor and DCMU, completely, inhibited PSII electron transport and phosphoryltion with 10-6 M treatment but did not inhibit PSI electron transport. Interference with the electron transport pathway was evidenced by the greater sensitivity of oxygen evolution and uptake than phosphorylation. The following order of decreasing inhibitory effectiveness was exihibited; DCMU>simetryne>sencor. The photoacoustic technique was also used to monitor the relative photosynthetic activity in the leaves treated with the herbicides (simetryne, sencor or DCMU) in vivo and in vitro. Photoacoustic measurements on intact leaves provide quantitative information on two related aspects of the photosynthetic process, namely, photochemical energy storage and oxygen evolution. The relative photoacoustic signal of leaves treated with the herbicides showed low level in 21 Hz, but high level in 380 Hz and on isolated chloroplasts (both 21 Hz and 380 Hz) in comparison with that of the untreated leaves. These results suggest that some of photochemical energy is converted into the heat owing to the inhibition of electorn transport pathway by the herbicides.

고주파 여기식 $CO_2$ 레이저의 주파수와 출력을 레이저 공진기 자체에서 발생하는 광음향효과를 이용하여 안정화하였다. 레이저 공진기 속의 복사선 세기를 임의로 변화시킬 때 광음향효과에 의해서 레이저 매질가스의 압력이 변화하였다. 공진기 속에 설치한 컨덴서마이크를 사용하여 미세한 압력변화를 전압신호로 변환시켜 록인안정기의 입력신호로 사용하였다. P(20)선에서 발진하는 레이저를 이득곡선의 꼭지점에 레이저의 주파수와 출력을 안정화 시켰을 때, 광주파수 상대 안정도는 5.4${\times}$$10^{-8}$ 이었고, 레이저 출력 변화율은 9.3%로 안정화되었다.
