Short summary

A simulation model to predict system behaviour of photoacoustic CO₂ sensors is presented. The sensor output signal that depends on the CO₂ concentration can be simulated if the boundary conditions of the system are known. A comparison of simulated values with experimental results is made. There is good accordance between simulation and experiments. Photoacoustic gas sensors offer great potential for miniaturized gas sensors. The simulation model is an effective tool for further developments.
