Abstract A photoacoustic (PA) system for monitoring gaseous air pollutants absorbing in the CO-laser range is presented. The characteristics of the CO laser and the interference caused by water-vapor absorption demand a special design of the PA cell and experimental setup. The optimum cell design was found by numerical simulation of the acoustic properties of various cell geometries. For this purpose a model using infinitesimal analogue acoustic impedances was developed. Based on a matrix formalism for fourterminals, a computer program was applied that permits the calculation of the frequency response of the PA signal amplitude at any position within a one-dimensional PA cell. Excellent agreement with experimental data is obtained. As a result, a new design for an acoustically resonant spectrophone with improved properties is presented. The response of the cell with aQ-factor of 52, operated at 555 Hz, is 2000 Pa cm/W.
