  ABSTRACT: The gas analyzer based on optical parametric oscillators (OPO) and laser photo - acoustic spectroscopy is demonstrated. The optical parametric oscillators based on fun – out PPLN and bulk crystal AgGaS2 with a two-pass pumping are developed. Wide tunable OPO is pumped by compact nanosecond Nd: YLF laser. Pulse duration is 5 - 7 ns, maximum pulse energy is 1.5 mJ at a frequency of 100-2000 Hz. OPO lasing threshold is 10 - 16 mJ/cm2 at the spectral range 2.2 - 4 μm for fun – out PPLN OPO and 12 - 20 mJ/cm2 at the spectral range 4 - 7.5 μm for AgGaS2 OPO. Absorption spectra of gaseous mixtures (CH4, C3H8, C2H6, C2H4 and CO2) and human’s breath were studied.
