Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a synchronous measurement technology for gas absorption spectrum and absorption optical path in a multi-pass cell, belonging to the field of laser absorption spectrum and gas sensing.
Background
In laser absorption spectroscopy, multipass cells are widely used to extend the absorption optical path and increase the sensitivity of the measurement, with the most commonly used multipass cells being based on the wytt-type and herriott-type designs. In order to meet the actual different measurement requirements, different types of multipass cells have been developed, such as optical matrix type gas cells, cylindrical mirror combination type gas cells. In order to achieve high compactness of the device, design types such as a chaotic optical multi-pass cavity and a circular multi-reflection air pool have appeared.
For quantitative gas detection, the absorption spectrum and the optical path of the multipass cell must be accurately determined. In the existing detection, the gas absorption spectrum and the absorption optical path are generally measured independently. The absorption path length is calibrated by mechanical measurement, gas absorption spectroscopy, phase shift, or interferometric techniques prior to acquiring the gas absorption spectrum. However, due to structural deformation, especially in long-term measurement under severe environment, the pre-calibration optical path of the multi-pass cell may change, resulting in a decrease in measurement accuracy. On the other hand, in applications requiring different optical depths, although the optical path length of the multipass cell can be changed by adjusting the mirror spacing or adjusting the number of reflections by laser alignment, the process is complex and time consuming.

The auxiliary interferometer is used for acquiring beat frequency coherent signals detected by the balanced detector 8 by the data acquisition card 10.
The multi-pass cell 7 is filled with gas to be measured, the test light enters the multi-pass cell 7, and the test light is subjected to multi-stage reflection inside the multi-pass cell due to the reflection system formed by the three concave mirrors, so that the absorption optical path of the test light is greatly increased.

In continuous wave frequency modulation techniques, the reflected signal essentially contains the absorption information of the gas. The invention relates to a data processing process of double Fourier transform. In the first fourier transform, as in the conventional continuous wave frequency modulation, a beat signal recorded in a frequency domain (spectral domain) is converted into time domain (spatial domain) information. In the space domain, the reflection intensity of each concave mirror in the multi-pass cell distributed along the length can be clearly seen, and the optical path length of the multi-pass cell can be determined through the optical path difference of strong reflection peaks corresponding to the sealing windows at the inlet and the outlet of the multi-pass cell. Within a measuring range of tens of meters, the spatial resolution of the measurement can reach sub-millimeter level. In the second inverse fourier transform, a section of the reflection signal of interest in the spatial domain is selected and inverse fourier transformed, and the reflection signal is converted back to the spectral domain again, so as to obtain the absorption spectrum of the target gas in the absorption optical path corresponding to the reflection signal, for example, the reflection signal at the sealed window of the outlet of the multi-pass cell is selected, and the absorption spectrum at the maximum corresponding absorption optical path can be obtained. Since the reflected signal is measured, the optical path of the absorption of the gas is twice the optical path of the transmission of the multipass cell.
In the main interferometer, the light intensity of the test light is modulated by the spectral absorption information in the multi-pass cell and generates beat frequency interference with the local oscillator light, the obtained beat frequency signal is finally acquired by the data acquisition card 10, the intensity is determined by the vector product of the test light amplitude and the intrinsic light amplitude and the response sensitivity of the balance detector 8, because the square relation exists between the light intensity and the amplitude, the absorption information is the light intensity information, and after two times of Fourier transform processing, the amplitude data of the frequency domain spectrum obtained by inversion is squared, so that the intensity information of the test light is obtained. In order to improve the signal-to-noise ratio, the acquired multiple groups of beat frequency coherent signals are averaged after first Fourier transform, then inverse Fourier transform is carried out on the average result, and the obtained inversion result is squared.
The linear tuning range of the tunable light source 1 can be selected according to the absorption band of the gas to be measured. Different tuning ranges of the light source can be set for different gases to accommodate different ranges of gas absorption spectra. The linear tuning rate and acquisition card parameters are adjustable. The output power of the light source is in milliwatt level and can be set according to specific requirements.

thirdly, the auxiliary interferometer generates a clock signal which is transmitted to the data acquisition card 10, so that the data acquisition card 10 performs equal-frequency interval acquisition on the beat frequency signal of the main interferometer;
the test light of the main interferometer is guided into the multi-pass cell 7 from the port 2 of the optical fiber circulator 4, and reflected light enters the optical fiber circulator 4 again after multi-stage reflection and gas absorption in the multi-pass cell 7; the beat-adjusting polarization controller 3 makes the light led out from the port 3 of the optical fiber circulator 4 and the local oscillation light generate beat frequency coherence, and then the beat frequency coherence is detected by a balance detector 8 and transmitted to a data acquisition card 10;
fourthly, the data acquisition card 10 acquires beat frequency signals, and the calculation module 11 stores the beat frequency signals;
fifthly, the calculation module 11 performs Fourier transform on the beat frequency coherent signal to realize the transformation from a frequency domain spectrum to a time domain spectrum, and an absorption optical path is obtained according to the optical path difference between the reflection peaks;
step six, selecting an interested information data segment from the time domain spectrum obtained in the step five, and performing inverse Fourier transform to realize the transformation from the time domain spectrum to the frequency domain spectrum;

Repeating the step five for multiple times to obtain multiple groups of time domain spectrums, averaging the multiple groups of time domain spectrums, and then performing the step six.
In this embodiment, taking a White-type multipass cell as an example, referring to fig. 1, three concave mirrors are provided inside the multipass cell, and light is reflected and propagated inside the multipass cell for multiple times to form a total absorption optical path. Fig. 2 is a flowchart of the method of the present embodiment. FIG. 3 is a graph of the raw beat frequency coherent signal collected from a multipass cell charged with 100ppm acetylene at standard atmospheric pressure, digitized to produce correlated interference fringes in the frequency domain.
Fig. 4 shows the results of averaging the fourier transform of 100 consecutive measurements. In the spatial domain obtained by the first fourier transform, reflection peaks are obtained which are generated as a result of light forming multiple reflections in the three concave mirrors, the amplitude of the reflection peaks being two orders of magnitude weaker than the amplitude at the exit sealing window.
Fig. 5 shows the result of inverse fourier transform of the signal at the sealing window O of the selected port during inverse fourier transform, and the absorption spectrum corresponding to the maximum absorption optical length is obtained. And after the data is subjected to inverse Fourier transform, squaring the amplitude data of the obtained frequency domain result to obtain corresponding absorption spectrum information. And correcting by means of base line fitting to obtain a normalized absorption spectrum.
The resulting gas absorption spectrum is shown in fig. 6. For comparison, simulation results based on the HITRAN database are referenced. Comparison shows that the residual error level between the experimental data and the simulation result of the present invention is very low, which demonstrates the success of the method of the present embodiment in accurately detecting the gas absorption spectrum. The minimum detectable absorbance, based on the standard deviation of the residual error, was about 0.01, corresponding to a detection limit of 5ppm for acetylene gas measurement.
According to the Beer-Lambert law of gas sensing, the same absorption intensity is generated, and the gas concentration is higher as the absorption optical path is shorter. When the gas concentration is higher, the absorption spectrum obtained from the outlet sealing window can generate an absorption saturation phenomenon, and the gas sensing is not suitable, and at the moment, the reflection signal of the concave mirror in the multi-pass cell is selected to perform inverse Fourier transform, so that the absorption spectrum without saturation is obtained. Inverse Fourier transform is carried out on the concave mirror reflection signals in the multi-pass cell, so that the measurement dynamic range of the method provided by the invention can be greatly improved. FIG. 7 illustrates the simultaneous measurement of gas absorption spectra for reflection locations corresponding to different optical paths in a multipass cell. With the advantage of this method in terms of expanded measurement dynamic range, a relatively high concentration of 1600ppm acetylene gas was measured. Referring to fig. 7, absorption spectra measured at 4 different reflection positions are shown, and the corresponding absorption optical paths are 4.8196m, 8.0342m, 16.0713m and 22.4972m, respectively. Each absorption spectrum was detected according to the procedure described above. It can be clearly seen that at the 22.4972 meter position corresponding to the maximum absorption optical path, the strong absorption is close to saturation and therefore cannot be used for gas sensing. In contrast, for relatively short absorption optical paths, the absorption lines may still operate. For detection of higher concentrations of gas, short absorption paths may be used in combination with weak absorption lines. Obviously, it is very advantageous to expand the effective dynamic range of the measurement by choosing different optical paths.
It will be evident to those skilled in the art that the invention is not limited to the details of the foregoing illustrative embodiments, and that the present invention may be embodied in other specific forms without departing from the spirit or essential attributes thereof. The present embodiments are therefore to be considered in all respects as illustrative and not restrictive, the scope of the invention being indicated by the appended claims rather than by the foregoing description, and all changes which come within the meaning and range of equivalency of the claims are therefore intended to be embraced therein.
