Sensitive measurement of the optoacoustic (OA, also photoacoustic) properties of cells in flow is highly desirable, as it provides information about the optical absorption properties of cellular compounds. Hence, optoacoustic spectral characteristics can deliver information about the cell state or disease parameters, but can also be used for high-throughput cell sorting by intrinsic properties without additional fluorescence labeling. The current implementation of optoacoustic measurements of cells in a microfluidic context typically relies on piezoelectric (ultrasound) transducers attached to the microfluidic chip, whereby the transducer records the ultrasound signal originating from absorbing species in cells when excited by laser pulses.

Acoustic impedance enables many interesting acoustic applications. However, acoustic impedance for gas sensing is rare and difficult. Here we introduce a micro-nano surface acoustic wave (SAW) chip based on the acoustic impedance effect to achieve ultra-fast and wide-range gas sensing.

The propagation of interface acoustic waves (IAWs) in 128° YX-LiNbO/SU-8/overcoat structures was theoretically studied and experimentally investigated for different types of overcoat materials and thicknesses of the SU-8 adhesive layer. Three-dimensional finite element method analysis was performed using Comsol Multiphysics software to design an optimized multilayer configuration able to achieve an efficient guiding effect of the IAW at the LiNbO/overcoat interface. Numerical analysis results showed the following: (i) an overcoat faster than the piezoelectric half-space ensures that the wave propagation is confined mainly close to the surface of the LiNbO, although with minimal scattering in the overcoat; (ii) the presence of the SU-8, in addition to performing the essential function of an adhesive layer, can also promote the trapping of the acoustic energy toward the surface of the piezoelectric substrate; and (iii) the electromechanical coupling efficiency of the IAW is very close to that of the surface acoustic wave (SAW) along the bare LiNbO half-space.

The acoustoelectric (AE) effect induced by the absorption of ultraviolet (UV) light at 365 nm in piezoelectric ZnO films was theoretically and experimentally studied. c-ZnO films 4.0 µm thick were grown by the RF reactive magnetron sputtering technique onto fused silica substrates at 200 °C.
