    Abstract: An apparatus for in-situ calibration of a photoacoustic sensor is provided. The apparatus includes a calibration unit that includes at least one processor configured to calculate calibration information. A light emitter of the photoacoustic sensor is configured to emit an electromagnetic spectrum and the photoacoustic sensor is configured to provide at least two measurement signals based on at least two electromagnetic spectra. The calibration unit is configured to compare the at least two measurement signals to obtain the calibration information and apply the calibration information to the photoacoustic sensor to perform the in-situ calibration.

    Abstract: Photoacoustic gas sensor having a light pulse emitter, a microphone in a reference gas housing having a reference gas, and a sample gas housing to be filled with a gas to be analyzed. A wall separates the sample gas housing from the reference gas housing, and has a transparent region that is transparent to light within a frequency range of emitted light pulses. Remaining inner walls of the sample gas housing have a reflecting surface that reflect light pulses emitted by the emitter so that a portion of the light pulses not absorbed by the gas to be analyzed pass through the transparent region into the reference gas volume. The microphone generates a sensor signal indicating information on an acoustic wave caused by the light pulses interacting with the reference gas after crossing the gas to be analyzed.
