<title>Ocular hazards of tunable continuous-wave near-infrared laser sources</title>

This review aims to discuss the latest advancements of an acoustic detection module (ADM) based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS). Starting from guidelines for the design of an ADM, the ADM design philosophy is described. This is followed by a review of the earliest standard quartz tuning fork (QTF)-based ADM for laboratory applications. Subsequently, the design of industrial fiber-coupled and free-space ADMs based on a standard QTF for near-infrared and mid-infrared laser sources respectively are described. Furthermore, an overview of the latest development of a QEPAS ADM employing a custom QTF is reported. Numerous application examples of four QEPAS ADMs are described in order to demonstrate their reliability and robustness.

AbstractAlthough AgGaS2 single crystals have desirable optical and nonlinear properties, the low laser damage threshold has limited their application for tunable infrared laser sources. Crystals have been studied by ESCA and Auger techniques and the surface of polished crystals has been found to be silver deficient, while the bulk composition is closer to stoichiometry.
