Abstract
To detect non-polar, infrared-inactive hydrogen, a Differential Photoacoustic-Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (DPA-SRS) method is proposed. Utilizing the SRS process, a portion of the pump light is converted into intense Stokes light corresponding to the hydrogen Raman shift, eliminating complex dual-laser configurations. The nonlinear thermoacoustic effect is excited by this dual-color light field, endowing Photoacoustic Spectroscopy with the capability for hydrogen fingerprint identification. Raman cell pressure was optimized to achieve a synergistic enhancement of the Stokes conversion efficiency and the Four-Wave Mixing effect. Furthermore, an acoustic mode-optimized differential H-type resonant photoacoustic cell was designed, which effectively enhances anti-interference capability through the differential detection mechanism. Distinct from traditional lock-in amplification methods,…
