摘要
The Groupe de Spectrometrie Moleculaire et Atmospherique (Reims, France) and the Institute of Atmospheric Optics (Tomsk, Russia) have developed a photoacoustic (PA) system based on differential Helmholtz resonance for infrared gas detection. We demonstrate with this PA cell used in conjunction with a near-infrared diode laser emitting at 1.65 mum the possibility to detect methane in air flow at atmospheric or reduced pressure. The achieved ultimate sensitivity of the PA cell is 2.4 x 10(-11) W cm(-1) with I s integration time. With a diode laser in the 1.65 mum region, this PA cell makes it possible to detect 0.3 ppm of methane in air. (C) 2003 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
