The detection of toxic and harmful gases mainly aims at industrial waste gas emission and industrial process leakage, such as hydrogen sulfide, hydrogen chloride, hydrogen cyanide and the like, and the content of the gases is extremely low, but once leakage occurs, the consequences are not considered. The monitoring of volatile organic compounds has attracted long attention, and VOCs have hundreds of volatile organic compounds, wherein a considerable part of the volatile organic compounds are harmful to human health or to ecological environment, and the characteristic of sample injection in the traditional chromatographic method determines that the detection time is long, so that continuous online monitoring is impossible. In order to improve the atmospheric environment, scientific monitoring and accurate assessment of the emission of various areas and industries in China are required, and the emission reduction effect is achieved.
The traditional gas detection method mainly adopts a chemical method, needs sample sampling and processing, is easy to be interfered by other gases, and can not meet the requirements of on-site measurement in parameters such as measurement sensitivity, measurement range, response time and the like. At present, the photoacoustic detection technology is widely used for trace gas detection due to the advantages of high sensitivity, high detection speed and the like.
To improve the detection sensitivity, the existing photoacoustic detection apparatus often adopts a multi-channel cell to increase the absorption optical path, for example, a White cell and a Herriott Chi Laiti generation single-channel cell, but these multi-channel cells are usually large in size, difficult to calibrate the optical path, and unfavorable for miniaturization. In addition, the existing closed photoacoustic cell needs to sample gas, control the flow of the gas to be measured, has complicated inflation and purification steps, needs additional devices, has high cost and is inconvenient for practical operation.

The diameters of the first buffer chamber 31 and the second buffer chamber 32 are larger than the diameters of the absorption chamber 33, the first resonance chamber 34, and the second resonance chamber 35. The diameter of the first and second resonant cavities 34, 35 is smaller than the diameter of the absorption cavity 33.
In a specific embodiment, the photoacoustic signal acquisition and central processing module 5 is disposed on top of the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonant cavity 3, and includes an acoustic wave detection and acquisition module 51, a lock-in amplifier 52, and a signal processor 53. The acoustic wave detection and acquisition module 51 is connected to the open differential T-type photoacoustic resonant cavity 3, specifically, connected to the top of the first resonant cavity 34 and the second resonant cavity 35, and is used for converting the output photoacoustic signal into an electrical signal. The lock-in amplifier 52 is connected to the tunable laser light source module 1 and the acoustic wave detection and acquisition module 51, and is configured to process the electrical signal to adjust a second harmonic signal having the same resonant frequency as the open differential T-type photoacoustic resonator 3, so as to obtain a processed electrical signal. Specifically, the lock-in amplifier 52 is connected to the signal generator 12 and the acoustic wave detecting and collecting module 51, and the signal generator 12 is used for providing a reference signal.

The detection method of the photoacoustic spectrometry gas detection system based on the open differential resonant cavity optical path enhancement comprises the following steps: the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonator 3 is placed in a measurement environment such that the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonator 3 is filled with ambient gas. The tunable laser diode light source 11 generates laser light with a wavelength corresponding to the main absorption peak of the trace gas to be measured, and then the signal generator 12 is used for modulating the light intensity of the laser light at a certain frequency, wherein the modulation frequency is half of the eigenmode frequency of the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonant cavity 3. The modulated laser is incident into an absorption cavity of the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonant cavity 3 at a certain longitudinal deflection angle and is reflected in the absorption cavity for multiple times, so that the gas to be measured periodically absorbs light and relaxes, a photoacoustic signal is generated, and the size of the photoacoustic signal and the concentration of the gas to be measured are in a linear relation. The photoacoustic signal is subjected to resonance amplification and differential processing by the first and second resonant cavities 34 and 35, and then detected and converted into an electrical signal by the acoustic wave detection and acquisition module 51 located at the antinode of the photoacoustic signal. The lock-in amplifier 52 performs a cross-correlation operation and low-pass filtering on the electric signal to filter out an interference signal having a frequency different from that of the photoacoustic signal. The electric signal processed by the lock-in amplifier 52 is transmitted to the signal processor 53, stored by the signal processor 53 and analyzed and processed by the signal processor, thus completing the high-precision on-line detection of trace gas.
The gas detection system based on the open differential T-shaped photoacoustic resonant cavity enhanced by the multiple reflection light does not need an airflow control device, avoids the complex procedure of inflating/purifying the traditional closed sensor, reduces the instrument cost and the operation difficulty, and is more beneficial to long-time high-precision online detection of trace gas.
