Title: Laser Spectroscopy Sensing Technique and Application
Abstract: 
Laser absorption spectroscopy technique is ideal tool for trace gases detection thanks to its multi-element detection capability combined with high resolution, low detection limits, non-destructive and high-speed of analysis. With the rapid development of laser fabrication technology, tunable diode lasers have emerged as attractive laser sources for spectroscopic applications. In this report, state-of-the-art laser spectroscopy sensing technique will be demonstrated as a promising tool for high resolution molecular spectra and for noninvasive, real-time identification and quantification of trace gases in environmental atmosphere monitoring and isotope analysis, human breath gases diagnosis, gas exchange process between soil and atmosphere. Moreover, a versatile quartz crystal tuning fork (QCTF) based photoelectric detector was proposed for laser signal collection by employing its piezoelectric effect and resonant characteristics. To explore the capabilities of this technique, a compact multi-gas sensor system based on a single QCTF detector and multi-frequency modulation strategy was developed and successfully applied for trace gases detection. Comparing with traditional infrared detectors, the QCTF detector has significant advantages of low-cost, miniaturization and wide wavelength response range. The presented QCTF detector technology may pave a way towards developing a new type of photodetector without spectral bandwidth limit.
