    Ammonia emission will cause harm to the environment and human health, so it is particularly important that the ammonia concentrations are measured with high precision. Off-Axis Integrating Cavity Output Spectroscopy (OA-ICOS), which has the advantages of high sensitivity and high response speed, is used to design a high-precision ammonia detection device. The gas absorption cell is composed of two high reflection mirrors with a reflectivity of 99.99%, and the base length of the optical resonator is 30 cm. Finally, an optical path of nearly 3000 m was realized. The Distributed Feedback Laser (DFB) with a central wavelength of 1528 nm is tuned to 6548.611 cm-1 and 6548.798 cm-1. The concentration of NH3 is changed from 1×10 -5 to 5×10-5 and is detected under an atmospheric pressure of 18.6 kPa at room temperature. The measurement results show that the linear fit R2 between NH3 concentration and signal amplitude can reach 0.99979. The Allan variance is used to analyze the experimental data, and the minimum detection limit of the system can reach 7×10-9 at 103 s. The experimental results show that the detection device has good stability and high sensitivity, meets the demand for the high-precision detection of ammonia gas, and also provides technical experience for the domestic independent research and development of high-precision detection equipment for trace gases.
