Trace gas detection technology plays an important role in applications such as environmental pollution gas monitoring, characteristic gas analysis of electrical equipment, safety supervision in coal mine and medical exhalation gas diagnosis. Ultra-high sensitive detection of target gas contributes to accurate analysis and early warning. To further improve the sensitivity of trace gas detection, an all-optical photoacoustic spectroscopy based ultra-high sensitive detecting scheme is proposed. A distributed feedback laser is used as the photoacoustic excitation source. Meanwhile, cantilever-cavity double resonance enhancement mechanism is introduced. Moreover, optical cross-correlation method is studied for high-precision acoustic demodulation. As a result, a new enhanced all-optical photoacoustic spectroscopy system is designed. The main research contents include: study of the sensing technology of the high sensitive fiber-optic cantilever microphone, research of the optical cross-correlation dynamic demodulation technology for fiber-optic Fabry-Perot acoustic sensor, research of double resonance enhancement method of optical cantilever beam and acoustic resonant cavity. Finally, the integration and testing of the all-optical photoacoustic spectroscopy based trace gas detection system will be completed. It is expected that the detection sensitivity of the tested acetylene gas can be improved by one order of magnitude, and the detection limit can be reached to less than 10 ppt. This research project is of great significance for the development and application of trace gas detection technology.
