We report on the development of a high-sensitive detection system for measuring atmospheric SO2using a laser-induced fluorescence (LIF) technique at around 220nm. Second harmonics of a tunable broad-band optical parametric oscillator (OPO) pumped by the third harmonic of a Nd:YAG laser is used as a fluorescence excitation source. The laser wavelength is alternatively tuned to the peak and the bottom wavelengths in the photoabsorption spectrum of SO2at 220.6 and 220.2nm, respectively, and the difference signal at the two wavelengths is used to extract the SO2concentration. This procedure can give a good selectivity for SO2and avoid interferences of fluorescent or particulate species other than SO2in the sample air. The SO2instrument developed has a sensitivity of 5pptv in 60s and S/N=2. The practical performance of the detection system is tested in the suburban area. The inter-comparisons between the LIF instrument and a commercial instrument using Xe flash lamp excitation for the fluorescence detection have been performed. The correlation between two instruments is measured up to 70ppbv. A good linear relationship between the LIF measurements and commercial instrument measurements is obtained.
