| Abstract: | A sensitive detection of ammonia in parts per billion by volume is described. The system based on photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) consists of distributed feedback laser diode emitting near 1,531.7 nm and a compact PA cell at double-pass configuration. In order to optimize the signal background ratio of the system, two types of modulations were tested, amplitude and wavelength modulations (WM). Using a digital lock-in amplifier, the 1f and 2f detection in WM could be investigated. A detection limit of 470 parts per million by volume could be achieved at WM-2f. In the sense of quantifing the adsorption–desorption process, the response time of the system and detection accuracy was performed in different flows. Response times between 10 and 49 s, depending on the flow rate, were obtained which enables the PA system to measure low concentrations of ammonia with high accuracy in real time. |
