Abstract

The disclosure relates to a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy gas detection apparatus and method based on beat effect. Provided is a quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy gas detection apparatus based on beat effect, comprising a photoacoustic signal detection module, a gas chamber, a light source module and a data acquisition module. In the present invention, by detecting the beat signal generated by mixing the piezoelectric signal output from the quartz tuning fork with the demodulation signal of the lock-in amplifier, the electrical parameters of the quartz crystal oscillator and the concentration of the gas to be measured can be obtained accurately in a time period on the order of milliseconds.
