Fig. 2 is that in chamber, light intensity declines and swings curve synoptic diagram.
Embodiment
Invention thought of the present invention is: during measuring intervals of TIME, has several factors to cause the decline of measuring accuracy, and wherein the most important is the positioning precision of initial time.The present invention, just for this problem, improves the positioning precision to initial time from two aspects, and then improves the measuring accuracy in the time interval in the measurement of cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
Specifically, the method for raising cavity ring-down time measuring accuracy of the present invention, comprises the following steps:
Open laser instrument, and pass through wavelength feedback regulating system by wavelength locking within the scope of the characteristic absorpting spectruming line of gas to be measured;
Adjustment cavity length, and monitoring detector amplitude output signal, until detector output signal amplitude reaches the upper threshold value of setting, stop adjustment chamber long, and close laser instrument;
When detector output signal amplitude is again for setting upper threshold value, timing starts;
When detector output signal amplitude reaches setting lower threshold value, timer expiration;
Calculate the free ring-down time constant of cavity;
Suction gas to be measured, repeats above-mentioned steps, obtains the free ring-down time constant containing gas to be measured;
According to data such as the cavity recorded and the free ring-down time constants containing gas to be measured, calculate intracavity gas concentration.
Illustrate step of the present invention below in conjunction with accompanying drawing 1 and accompanying drawing 2 to realize.
Improve a method for cavity ring-down time measuring accuracy, comprise the following steps:
Step one, device power-on, open laser instrument 2, controller 101 drives the wavelength of 103 adjustment laser instruments 2 by temperature-driven 102 and electric current, and monitors wavelength variations with Wavelength monitor (not providing in figure), and by wavelength locking within the scope of gas characteristic absorption line;
Step 2, length by the long regulon in chamber (not providing in figure) adjustment resonator cavity 3, and monitor resonator cavity 3 output intensity with detector 4;
Step 3, repetition step 2, until the signal amplitude that detector 4 exports reaches the upper threshold value V1 (the t1 moment in accompanying drawing 2) of setting, stop adjustment chamber long, and drive 103 closedown laser instruments 2 by electric current;
Step 4, resonator cavity 3 no longer include energy input, and freedom of entry declines the stage of swinging, and energy is decayed gradually, and when detector 4 amplitude output signal is setting upper threshold value V1 (the t2 moment in accompanying drawing 2) again, timing starts;
Step 5, freely decline to swing and proceed, energy is decayed further, and when detector 4 amplitude output signal reaches setting lower threshold value V2 (in accompanying drawing 2 t3 moment), timing stops, and thinking declines swings end;
Step 6, comparer 5 and time measurement module 6, by the time interval length between t2 to t3, calculate the free ring-down time constant of cavity;
Step 7, suction gas to be measured, repeat step one to six, obtain the free ring-down time constant containing gas to be measured;
The data such as the cavity that step 8, basis record and the free ring-down time constant containing gas to be measured, calculate intracavity gas concentration.
Cavity ring-down spectroscopy measuring process is as follows:
First laser instrument is opened, by regulating system, laser wavelength is adjusted in the characteristic absorpting spectruming line of gas, then wavelength locking, adjustment cavity length, when light beam closes laser instrument when chamber interior resonance makes energy be increased to setting upper threshold value, at this moment no longer include energy input in chamber, enter the stage of swinging of declining, until intra-cavity energy decays to setting lower threshold value, the process of swinging that declines terminates.Decaying to time interval between lower threshold value by measuring energy from upper threshold value, ring-down time constant can be calculated, thus calculate the concentration of gas to be measured in chamber.2 points can be found out: one, when intra-cavity energy runs up to setting upper threshold value, the closing velocity of laser instrument will affect the positioning precision of initial time from the above-mentioned course of work; Two, ring-down time interval is longer, then the impact of time measurement module self measuring error on measuring accuracy is less.
The laser instrument used in cavity ring-down spectroscopy is semiconductor laser, laser wavelength can be regulated by temperature and drive current two kinds of modes, because rate temperature change is relatively slowly a lot, adopt the mode of adjustment electric current, laser wavelength is shifted out rapidly characteristic absorpting spectruming line scope, be equivalent to close laser instrument, for the constant current source that the additional driving circuit of parallel DAC produces, this process just can complete in 30ns.Even the so short time, be still difficult to accept for cavity ring-down spectroscopy measuring technique, can be confirmed by table 1.If select intra-cavity energy to arrive the moment of upper threshold value as initial time, in laser instrument closing process, intra-cavity energy is still in quick increase, therefore, after intra-cavity energy arrives upper threshold value, laser instrument is closed, when intra-cavity energy drops to upper threshold value again, timing starts, and sees accompanying drawing 2.Be upper lower threshold value comparative level by high-precision DAC output voltage, ultrahigh-speed comparator produces and compares output, at this moment accurately can provide the ring-down time length between lower threshold value.
Relation table between table 1. Measuring Time precision and gas concentration
Above data design conditions are: the long 41cm in chamber, and cavity mirrors reflectivity is 0.9999, standard atmospheric pressure, and room temperature (25 DEG C), linear function is 5.13.
Obviously, above-described embodiment is only for clearly example being described, and the restriction not to embodiment.For those of ordinary skill in the field, can also make other changes in different forms on the basis of the above description.Here exhaustive without the need to also giving all embodiments.And thus the apparent change of extending out or variation be still among the protection domain of the invention.
