    Abstract: A process for detecting acoustic leaks in a non-invasive sensor based on indirect photoacoustic detection, comprising:
    a) measuring with a detection cell a plurality of amplitudes and/or phases of pressure waves generated in the detection cell in response to a plurality of irradiations of a test target with at least one light source, the intensity of the emitted light being modulated at a modulation frequency that is different for each of the plurality of irradiations;
    b) Determining with a processor at least one acoustic response of the detection cell as a function of a frequency of a pressure wave, based on the plurality of amplitudes and/or phases of pressure waves measured at a) and the respective modulation frequencies.
    c) Comparing with a processor at least one determined acoustic response of the detection cell to at least one reference acoustic response;
    d) Based on the result of the comparison, providing with a processor a detection result characterizing acoustic leaks in the detection cell.
