英文摘要：

photoacoustic spectroscopy is a trace gas detection technology based on photoacoustic effect. It has advantages of high sensitivity, high selectivity and large dynamic range. This paper discusses the theoretical acoustic characters of a spherical photoacoustic cell, the calculation shows that the spherical cell has less viscous loss and better detection characteristics compared to the commonly used cylinder shape cell;the acoustic characters of a spherical photoacoustic cell was tested in the detection system composed by the spherical photoacoustic cell and carbon dioxide laser, results show that the experiment is consistent with the theoretic, and that the photoacoustic signal generated by the 300 ppm carbon dioxide in the spherical cell is 5.68 mV and high signal-to-noise （S/N） values （ - 45 ： 1 ）. This cell can reduce the heat loss and viscous loss near its wall as much as possible to improve the carbon dioxide detecting sensitivity.
