Abstract
A novel dual-frequency modulated heterodyne quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (DFH-QEPAS) was demonstrated for what we believe to be the first time in this study. In traditional H-QEPAS, the frequency of modulated sinusoidal wave has a frequency difference (Δf ) with the resonance frequency (f 0) of a quartz tuning fork (QTF). Owing to the resonance characteristic of QTF, it cannot excite QTF to the strongest response. To achieve a stronger response, a sinusoidal wave with a frequency of f 0 was added to the modulation wave to compose a dual-frequency modulation. Acetylene (C2H2) was chosen as the target gas to verify the sensor performance. The proposed DFH-QEPAS improved 4.05 times of signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) compared with the traditional H-QEPAS in the same environmental conditions.
