1. Modular photoacoustic detection device comprising at least:
- a photoacoustic cell including at least two chambers connected by at least two capillaries and forming a Helmholtz type differential acoustic resonator;
acoustic detectors coupled to the chambers;
a light source capable of emitting a light beam having at least one wavelength capable of exciting a gas intended to be detected and which can be modulated to a resonance frequency of the photoacoustic cell;
a first photonic circuit optically coupling the light source to an input face of a first of the chambers;
wherein the first photonic circuit is arranged in a detachable manner in a first housing formed in the acoustic cell and emerging on the input face of the first chamber.
