[0002] With the rapid development of sensing technology, cavity-enhanced techniques such as cavity ring-down spectroscopy and cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy have also developed rapidly due to the advantages of optical cavities, such as extremely high detection sensitivity and the ability to increase the length of interaction between laser and the gas to be measured. Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy has the characteristics of relatively simple experimental device, high sensitivity, and strong environmental adaptability, and is an important branch of high-sensitivity absorption spectroscopy. In the application process of cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy, the reflectivity of the cavity mirror is an important factor affecting the measurement accuracy, and therefore it is crucial to determine the reflectivity of the cavity mirror in cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy.

[0003] The current traditional method for measuring the reflectivity of the cavity mirror mainly uses cavity ring-down technology or standard gas samples to measure the reflectivity of the cavity mirror. The existing method mainly has the following problems:

[0004] 1. Although the method of using cavity ring-down technology to determine the reflectivity of the cavity mirror has the advantage of high sensitivity, when the reflectivity is relatively low, i.e. R<0.999, the decay time is too short, and the detector is difficult to detect the accurate decay time, so the reflectivity of the cavity mirror cannot be measured. However, R<0.999 belongs to the reflectivity range of the optical cavity used in cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy, and therefore the application of cavity ring-down technology in the cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy system with relatively low reflectivity is limited.

[0005] 2. The method of using standard gas to determine the reflectivity of the cavity mirror is easily affected by the inaccuracy of the gas sample concentration and the shift of the laser intensity, and has a large error.

[0006] In summary, how to design a calibration-free cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy method that can efficiently and conveniently measure the reflectivity of the optical cavity without using standard gas is a problem that needs to be solved at present. SUMMARY
