摘要

Abstract

The extension of dual-comb spectroscopy (DCS) to all wavelengths of light along with its ability to provide ultra-large dynamic range and ultra-high spectral resolution

renders it extremely useful for a diverse array of applications in physics

chemistry

atmospheric science

space science

as well as medical applications. In this work

we report on an innovative technique of quartz-enhanced multiheterodyne resonant photoacoustic spectroscopy (QEMR-PAS)

in which the beat frequency response from a dual comb is frequency down-converted into the audio frequency domain. In this way

gas molecules act as an optical-acoustic converter through the photoacoustic effect

generating heterodyne sound waves.

Unlike conventional DCS

where the light wave is detected by a wavelength-dependent photoreceiver

QEMR-PAS employs a quartz tuning fork (QTF) as a high-

sound transducer and works in conjunction with a phase-sensitive detector to extract the resonant sound component from the multiple heterodyne acoustic tones

resulting in a straightforward and low-cost hardware configuration. This novel QEMR-PAS technique enables wavelength-independent DCS detection for gas sensing

providing an unprecedented dynamic range of 63 dB

a remarkable spectral resolution of 43 MHz (or ~0.3 pm)

and a prominent noise equivalent absorption of 5.99 × 10
