Diabetes is a developing global health concern that cannot be cured, necessitating frequent blood glucose monitoring and dietary management. Photoacoustic Spectroscopy (PAS) in the mid-infrared (MIR) region has recently emerged as a viable noninvasive blood glucose monitoring technique. However, MIR-PAS confronts significant challenges: (i) Water absorption, which reduces light penetration, and (ii) interference from other blood components. This paper systematically analyzes the background of photoacoustic signal generation and proposes a differential PAS (DPAS) in the MIR region for removing the background signals arising from water and other interfering components of blood, which improves the overall detection sensitivity. A detailed mathematical model with an explanation for choosing two suitable MIR quantum cascade lasers for this differential scheme is presented here. For single-wavelength PAS (SPAS), a detection sensitivity of 1.537 µPa mg−1 dL was obtained from the proposed model. Alternatively, 2.333 µPa mg−1 dL detection sensitivity was found by implementing the DPAS scheme, which is about 1.5 times higher than SPAS. Moreover, DPAS facilitates an additional parameter, a differential phase shift between two laser responses, that has an effective correlation with the glucose concentration variation. Thus, MIR-based DPAS could be an effective way of monitoring blood glucose levels noninvasively in the near future.
