Abstract: The applications of the pulsed laser photoacoustic spectroscopy. to the rare earth spectra and trace analysis are presented. Ahome-made high sensitive photoacoustic transducer was used to. detect the photoacoustic signal in liquid. The high resolution photoacoustic spectra of Ho3+ ion in different, solvents, were mea-sured and compared with its absorption spectrum. It also discusses how the phqto-acoustic sensitivity is affected by laser pulse energy, temperature of measurement and the organic solvents which can be mixed with water. The trivalent rare earth ions Ho3+ and Nd3+ in aqueous acetonitrile solution had been determined. The detection limit is 5×10-8mol/Lfor Ho3+,1.0×10-7mol/Lfor Nd3+, and corresponds to the absor.bance of 1.5×10-7 and 6.3×10-7, respectively.
