Accurate and sensitive detection of multicomponent trace gases below the parts-per-million (ppm) level is needed in a variety of medical, industrial, and environmental applications. Raman spectroscopy can identify multiple molecules in the sample simultaneously and has excellent potential for fast diagnosis of various samples, but applications are often limited by its sensitivity. In this contribution, we report the development of a cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopy instrument using a narrow-line width 532 nm laser locked with a high-finesse cavity through a Pound-Drever-Hall locking servo, which allows continuous measurement in a broad spectral range. An intracavity laser power of up to 1 kW was achieved with an incident laser power of about 240 mW, resulting in a significant enhancement of the Raman signal in the range of 200-5000 cm-1 and a sub-ppm sensitivity for various molecules. The technique is applied in the detection of different samples, including ambient air, natural gas, and reference gas of sulfur hexafluoride, demonstrating its capability for the quantitative measurement of various trace components.
