Detection of sub-terahertz photoacoustic effect for non-contact material sensing

We demonstrate the generation of photoacoustic signals in aqueous samples by continuous sub-terahertz irradiation detectable with a standard microphone. We confirm that the frequency response of the photoacoustic signals is dependent on the sound speed in the sample, demonstrating its potential for...
