Radial-cavity quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (RC-QEPAS) was proposed for trace gas analysis. A radial cavity with (0,0,1) resonance mode was coupled with the quartz tuning fork (QTF) to greatly enhance the QEPAS signal and facilitate the optical alignment. The coupled resonance enhancement effects of the radial cavity and QTF were analyzed theoretically and researched experimentally. With an optimized radial cavity, the detection sensitivity of QEPAS was enhanced by >1 order of magnitude. The RC-QEPAS makes the acoustic detection module more compact and optical alignment comparable with a bare QFT, benefiting the usage of light sources with poor beam quality.
