What Does PARS Stand For?
PARS stands for Photoacoustic Raman Spectroscopy
PARS, or Photoacoustic Raman Spectroscopy, is a hybrid analytical technique that combines the principles of photoacoustic detection and Raman spectroscopy to enhance the sensitivity and selectivity of molecular identification. By utilizing pulsed laser excitation, PARS generates acoustic waves resulting from non-radiative relaxation processes in a sample, which are then analyzed alongside Raman scattering signals. This method is particularly advantageous for detecting low-concentration analytes in complex environments, making it valuable in applications such as biomedical research, material science, and environmental monitoring.
