Arc Shape of High-Intensity Discharge Lamps: Simulation and Experiments
A stationary compressible three-dimensional (3D) model of photothermal processes inside an arc tube of a high-intensity discharge lamp is developed on the basis of the finite element method. It takes plasma, e...

Shape-Optimized Photoacoustic Cell: Numerical Consolidation and Experimental Confirmation
The signal of photoacoustic sensors depends considerably on the shape of the sample cell. Taking advantage of acoustical resonances results in a signal boost and enables highly sensitive analyzers with low det...
