Abstract
A trace gas sensor, based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEPAS) with two non-resonant micro-tubes, was designed to detect the ammonia concentration in impure helium. Unlike the traditional micro-resonator, the non-resonant micro-tubes are used to confine the sound wave, but do not exhibit a well-defined resonant behavior. Such a design makes the dimension of the spectrophone much smaller than the micro-resonant configuration, which facilitates the optical alignment. Signal and noise, that were dependent on gas pressure, were also investigated to optimize sensor performance. With the optimal sensor parameters and the optimal gas pressure, the detection sensitivity was found to be 463 ppb (1 , 1 s averaging time), which corresponds to the normalized absorption sensitivity of 4.310-9cm-1W/Hz.
