QEPAS sensor for breath analysis: a behavior of pressure
Abstract:
The measurement of trace gases has increasingly become a key technique in healthcare and other medical applications. Quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) is a suitable method that can provide the required characteristics in such applications for a comparatively low cost and small size. The quantitative detection and a low detection limit are also required by applications. In this paper, we present new results on sensing biomedically relevant gases using the on-beam QEPAS technique with some newly developed tunable high-power single-mode laser diodes based on GaSb material. The data processing and detection limit determination are done by a field programmable gate array device, as well as an automatic measurement of the resonance frequency.

Breathing
Mechanism of Breathing I: Inspiration
The respiratory system, an essential network for breathing, comprises the conducting and respiratory zones, each playing a crucial role in the overall process of respiration. Let us explore the detailed mechanism of inspiration, or inhalation, which is the first phase of the respiratory cycle.
Pathway of Air during Inspiration
During inspiration, air enters our body through the nose or mouth and moves through the conducting zone,...
Mechanism of Breathing II: Expiration
Expiration, or exhaling, is a complex physiological process that begins as the inspiratory muscles begin to relax. This relaxation triggers a series of events that epitomize the efficiency of the respiratory system.
