For a clearer understanding of the technical characteristics, objects and effects of the present invention, now control attached drawing is described in detail A specific embodiment of the invention.
It is closely red by output end the present invention provides a kind of gas sensor generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber Outer optical power target acquisition gas concentration in certain described gas chamber be 0 with it is non-zero when changed power reflect in certain described gas chamber Target acquisition gas concentration.
For target acquisition gas different in certain described gas chamber, mid-infrared light wavelength difference is inputted, according to first segment Micro optical fiber diameter determines by the phase-matching condition that the relevant restriction factor of evanscent field is generated with triple-frequency harmonics, second segment micro optical fiber Diameter is determined by the phase-matching condition that triple-frequency harmonics generates, micro- based on cascading for the mid-infrared light of the different wave length of input The diameter of two sections of micro optical fibers of the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates in optical fiber is different.The optimum length of second segment micro optical fiber is Corresponding length when triple-frequency harmonics output power maximum;The optimum length of first segment micro optical fiber length is when near infrared detector is true The corresponding length of minimum detection limit of the gas sensor generated after fixed based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber;Different mesh Probe gas is marked, the optimum length of two sections of micro optical fibers is different.
Referring to FIG. 1, Fig. 1 is a kind of gas biography generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber in the embodiment of the present invention The structure chart of sensor, comprising: the first conical fiber and the second conical fiber, the first conical fiber include the first tail optical fiber, the first mistake Area, first segment micro optical fiber (GA sections), the second transition region and the second tail optical fiber are crossed, the second conical fiber includes the first tail optical fiber, the first mistake Cross area, second segment micro optical fiber (THG sections), the second transition region and the second tail optical fiber;First conical fiber and the second conical fiber intercaste Connection, i.e. the second tail optical fiber of the first conical fiber are docking together with the first tail optical fiber of the second conical fiber;The shape class of transition region It is similar to taper, transition region connects the first tail optical fiber or the second tail optical fiber;Second tail optical fiber diameter is identical as standard fiber diameter, as 125μm.The material of first conical fiber and the second conical fiber is As2Se3Glass, As2Se3The nonlinear refractive index of glass Coefficient is 2.4 × 10-17m2/W.First segment micro optical fiber is set in certain gas chamber containing target acquisition gas, first segment micro optical fiber Both ends pass through the drilling agreed with and are pierced by certain described gas chamber, connect with certain described air chamber sealing, wherein the indoor gas of certain described gas For target acquisition gas, absorbed from the input of first segment micro optical fiber input terminal using the indoor target acquisition gas of certain described gas Infrared light (MIR);Second segment micro optical fiber generates (THG) for triple-frequency harmonics, and remaining mid-infrared light is converted to near-infrared Light;First segment micro optical fiber length is L1, second segment micro optical fiber length is L2;If the target acquisition gas being filled in certain described gas chamber Difference corresponds to different absorbing wavelengths on middle infrared absorption dactylogram, then inputs in the input terminal of first segment micro optical fiber different The mid-infrared light of wavelength.If the indoor target acquisition gas of certain gas is different, the length of first segment micro optical fiber and second segment micro optical fiber Degree and diameter are also different, i.e., the difference of target acquisition gas, the length and diameter of two sections of micro optical fibers can also correspond to change.First segment The diameter of micro optical fiber generates phase-matching condition by evanscent field and triple-frequency harmonics and codetermines, in the phase for avoiding triple-frequency harmonics generation Under the matching condition of position, evanscent field is the bigger the better;The phase-matching condition that the diameter of second segment micro optical fiber is then generated by triple-frequency harmonics It determines, the mid-infrared light or close because second segment micro optical fiber does not immerse in target acquisition gas, in second segment micro optical fiber Infrared light will not be absorbed, i.e., evanscent field will not influence mid-infrared light or near infrared light in second segment micro optical fiber.So first When the length of section micro optical fiber is that this reaches minimum detection limit based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber generates Corresponding length, the length of second segment micro optical fiber corresponding length when being near infrared band triple-frequency harmonics output power maximum ( It is exactly after selected near infrared detector, the length of second segment micro optical fiber is that the output power of the detection of near infrared detector is maximum When corresponding length);The diameter of first segment micro optical fiber generates phase-matching condition by evanscent field and triple-frequency harmonics and codetermines, Under the phase-matching condition for avoiding triple-frequency harmonics generation, when evanscent field maximum, corresponding diameter was the straight of first segment micro optical fiber Diameter;Corresponding diameter is then the diameter of second segment micro optical fiber when meeting the phase-matching condition of triple-frequency harmonics generation.
The present embodiment is by taking methane gas as an example, i.e., certain gas chamber is methane gas chamber, and target acquisition gas is methane gas;Methane Gas corresponding absorbing wavelength on middle infrared absorption dactylogram is 3300nm, absorption coefficient 1.6/cm, so first segment is micro- The input mid-infrared light wavelength X of optical fiber1For 3300nm, the near-infrared wavelength λ of second segment micro optical fiber output end output3For 1100nm.When detecting the concentration of methane gas, the length L of first segment micro optical fiber1It is respectively 2.9cm and 750nm with core diameter; Second segment micro optical fiber length L2It is respectively 9.5cm and 545nm with core diameter.
In the input terminal input wavelength λ of first segment micro optical fiber1For the mid-infrared light of 3300nm, passing through first segment micro optical fiber Afterwards, part mid-infrared light is absorbed by methane gas;Then remaining mid-infrared light is after the output of the output end of first segment micro optical fiber Into in second segment micro optical fiber;The output power P that remaining mid-infrared light is exported from the output end of first segment micro optical fiber1=P0exp (-σCΓL1-αL1), wherein P0It is the input power of mid-infrared light, σ is the absorption coefficient of 100% methane gas, and C is first segment The concentration of methane gas in micro optical fiber, α are attenuation coefficients, and Γ is restriction factor relevant to evanscent field, L1For first segment low-light Fine length 2.9cm;In the case where meeting phase-matching condition, the mid-infrared light in second segment micro optical fiber is generated by triple-frequency harmonics, Near infrared light is converted to, and is exported in the output end of second segment micro optical fiber;Output of the near infrared detector in second segment micro optical fiber End detects the power P of the triple-frequency harmonics of near infrared band3=▽ P1, wherein ▽ is coupling relevant to triple-frequency harmonics generation The impact factor of the decorrelation of Mode Equation.
According to the output power and near-infrared of remaining mid-infrared light in the input power of mid-infrared light, first segment micro optical fiber The power of the triple-frequency harmonics of wave band, and then obtained according to the absorption power for the mid-infrared light being absorbed by the target acquisition gas The concentration C of the target acquisition gas;
The calculation formula of visited target acquisition gas concentration C are as follows:Wherein, Δ P The output power of second segment micro optical fiber and target acquisition when for target acquisition gas concentration detected by near infrared detector being 0 The difference power of the output power of second segment micro optical fiber, i.e. Δ P=P when gas concentration is C3(C=0)-P3(C=C).
The minimum gas concentration that gas sensor based on triple-frequency harmonics generation in cascade micro optical fiber can be detected is by gas Body absorption length and near infrared detector performance determine;Wherein, the gas absorption length is the length of first segment micro optical fiber, right In determining near infrared detector, the minimum detectable gas based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber generates The corresponding length of concentration is optimal gas absorption length, and parameter, Δ P is related near infrared detector performance.Two sections of micro optical fibers it is straight Diameter determines by restriction factor relevant to evanscent field and THG phase-matching condition jointly respectively, restriction factor and phase matched item Part can ensure methane gas fully absorbing and efficient THG to mid-infrared light respectively.For THG, it is assumed that Self-phase modulation and To the correction very little of propagation constant, the effective refractive index that phase-matching condition is equivalent to fundamental wave (FW) is equal to three times cross-phase The effective refractive index of harmonic wave (THW).Fundamental wave in the present embodiment is mid-infrared light, and triple-frequency harmonics is near infrared light.
Referring to FIG. 2, Fig. 2 is the relationship of the effective refractive index and restriction factor of core diameter and wave in the embodiment of the present invention Figure, Fig. 2 (a) give in As2Se3In micro optical fiber, FW (λ1=3300nm) basic mode HE11(ω) and THW (λ3=1100nm) Dispersion relation between high-order mode, that is, FW (λ1=3300nm) basic mode HE11(ω) and THW (λ3=1100nm) high-order The variation that the effective refractive index of mould changes with core diameter.For the phase-matching condition of FW and THW, ideally, it should It is the phase matched between the basic mode of FW and the basic mode of THW.But due to the presence of material dispersion, this is difficult to realize.On the contrary, A large amount of high-order mode can meet phase-matching condition.However, these high-order modes from FW there are different modes to be overlapped.The HE of THW12 (3 ω) mode provides optimal mode overlapping for triple-frequency harmonics generation, and corresponding fibre diameter is 545nm at this time, so second segment The core diameter of micro optical fiber is set as 545nm.Different from second segment micro optical fiber, first segment micro optical fiber is needed at no non-linear turn The process that methane gas absorbs mid-infrared light is carried out in the case where changing, therefore first segment micro optical fiber should be avoided and meet phase matched item Part.But in order to which methane gas can efficiently absorb mid-infrared light in first segment micro optical fiber, need big evanscent field.Suddenly die It is characterized by restriction factor, reflection is overlapping degree between gas and mode.For 3300nm wavelength mid-infrared light and Speech, shown in the corresponding restriction factor such as Fig. 2 (b) of different core diameters, by Fig. 2 (b) it is found that with core diameter increase, limit The factor processed is then gradually reduced;When core diameter is in 0.5-1 μ m, restriction factor sharply declines;When core diameter continues When increase, restriction factor often be can be ignored, this is because light field by height limitation in the fibre core being gradually increased, suddenly die Field is just small.In view of these factors, in order to enhance the interaction of mid-infrared light and methane gas, the fibre of first segment micro optical fiber Core diameter is set as 750nm, and corresponding restriction factor is 0.733, can meet simultaneously generate big evanscent field and phase at this time Unmatched condition.
For the gas sensor generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber, the mid-infrared light quilt of 3300nm wavelength It is input in chalcogenide optical fiber, is propagated then along first segment micro optical fiber.According to Beer-Lambert law, by formula (1) Obtain output power P of the mid-infrared light after first segment micro optical fiber1:
P1=P0exp(-σCΓL1-αL1) (1)
Wherein P0It is that mid-infrared light inputs the input power into first segment micro optical fiber, (methane gas is to 3300nm wavelength by σ The absorption coefficient of mid-infrared light is 1.6/cm) be 100% gas absorption coefficient, C is the concentration of methane gas for needing to detect, α=αdB/ 4.343, α are attenuation coefficient, αdBIt is the loss of micro optical fiber, Γ is restriction factor relevant to evanscent field.
Triple-frequency harmonics generates THG and is modeled by coupled mode equation (2):
Wherein, A1And A3The amplitude of FW and THW are corresponded to respectively, and z is the propagation distance of light, α1dB/ 4.343, α3= αdB/ 4.343 be the attenuation coefficient of FW and THW, δ β=β respectively3-3β1It is propagation constant mismatch, k11/ c=2 π/λ1It is FW Aerial propagation constant, n2It is the nonlinear viscoelastic piles of fibrous material, i indicates imaginary part, and A* and J* are respectively A and J Conjugation;JiIt is non-linear superposition integral, for basic mode HE11(ω) and mode HE12For (3 ω), J1=0.053 μm-2, J2= 0.073μm-2, J3=0.057 μm-2, J5=0.011 μm-2
The output power of first segment micro optical fiber is the input power of second segment micro optical fiber.Therefore, in second segment micro optical fiber, A1And A3Initial value be respectively P1 1/2With 0.When mid-infrared light is propagated in second segment micro optical fiber, the energy of FW is gradually converted Into THW.From figure 3, it can be seen that the input of the mid-infrared light with 0.1W input power, the power of THW increases to maximum Value, is then progressively decrease to 0.The output power of the maximum THW of generated 1.34 μ W can by efficient near infrared detector into Row detection obtains.
Detection limit (LOD) is the measurable minimum of gas sensor generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber Gas concentration (Cmin), by minimum detectable power (Pmin) determine.PminBy gas concentration be 0 when output power P (C=0) with Output power P (C=C when gas concentration is Minimum detectable concentrationmin) difference indicate, as shown in formula (3):
Pmin≤ P (C=0)-P (C=Cmin) (3)
Wherein, PminSize determined by the performance of photodetector.
Assuming that the power resolution of mid-infrared light (MIR) detection is 1 × 10-9W, and the power of near infrared light (NIR) detection Resolution ratio is 1 × 10-13W。
Another important parameter in the gas sensor generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber is detection spirit Sensitivity S, detectivity S are acquired by formula (4):
Wherein, C is the concentration of methane gas, and P is normalized power, i.e. P=P (C=C)/P (C=0), this provides Fig. 1 The comparativity of detectivity between middle MIR detection and NIR detection;It is that MIR is directly passed that MIR in the present embodiment, which is detected corresponding, The output power of sensor detects, and it is based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates in cascade micro optical fiber that NIR, which is detected corresponding, Output power detection.
Due to the triple-frequency harmonics (THW) of generation power very little (| A3|<<|A1|), the approximate solution of coupled mode equation (2) It may be expressed as:
P3≈P1 3(k1n2|J3|)2z2 (5)
Wherein, P3It is the output power of triple-frequency harmonics (THW);
It is calculated separately using formula (6) and formula (7) and is passed with the gas that should be generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber MIR in sensor detects sensitivity relevant with the normalized power that NIR is detected:
SMIR=δ Γ L1exp(-δΓCL1) (6)
SNIR=3 δ Γ L1exp(-3δΓCL1) (7)
Concentration C and first segment micro optical fiber length L when target acquisition gas concentration is extremely low, for identical gas1And Speech, NIR detection sensitivity be MIR detection 3 times, and NIR detection sensitivity and second segment micro optical fiber length L2It is unrelated, The performance based on the gas sensor of triple-frequency harmonics generation in cascade micro optical fiber is analyzed, it is contemplated that chalcogenide optical fiber Damage threshold, input power is fixed as 0.1W, the fibre loss α of 3300nm and 1100nm wavelengthdB=0.5dB/cm.
As shown in figure 4, different first segment micro optical fiber length L1, the output power of near infrared light is not in second segment micro optical fiber Together;With first segment micro optical fiber length L1Increase, have more methane gas and absorb mid-infrared lights, in the biography of identical light It broadcasts under distance z value, the output power decline of near infrared light.Different first segment micro optical fiber length L1Corresponding four curves have Identical variation tendency, in second segment micro optical fiber length L2When=9.5cm, second segment micro optical fiber has maximum near infrared light defeated Power out.Defining optimum length (Lopt) is the corresponding micro optical fiber length of minimum detection limit, is based in cascade micro optical fiber three times When the concentration for the gas sensor detection methane gas that harmonic wave generates, the optimum length Lopt of second segment micro optical fiber is 9.5cm.
After the optimum length that second segment micro optical fiber has been determined, first segment micro optical fiber length L1What is do not existed together should be based on cascade The detection limit (LOD) for the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates in micro optical fiber also needs to be determined.In order to straight with MIR It connects sensing to be compared, calculates the minimum detection limit of MIR direct pick-up.As shown in figure 5, for MIR direct pick-up and base The gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates in cascade micro optical fiber, with first segment micro optical fiber length L1Increase, LOD be all first Increase after reduction, this shows that there are best first segment micro optical fiber length L1.MIR direct pick-up and based on cascade micro optical fiber in three times The minimum detection limit for the gas sensor that harmonic wave generates is respectively 2.7 × 10-9With 3.50 × 10-9.Correspondingly, straight for MIR It is 8.7cm that the gas for connecing sensing, which absorbs the Lopt of part, and is used to pass based on the gas that triple-frequency harmonics generates in cascade micro optical fiber The Lopt of the first segment micro optical fiber of sensor is 2.9cm, the based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber generates One section of micro optical fiber length is that the gas of MIR direct pick-up absorbs the 1/3 of the micro optical fiber length of part.Therefore, MIR direct pick-up Minimum LOD is slightly less than the LOD based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates in cascade micro optical fiber, but based in cascade micro optical fiber The Lopt for the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics generates is less than the Lopt of MIR direct pick-up.
The gas sensor detection methane gas generated based on triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber in the present embodiment When concentration, meeting optimum length L1=2.9cm and L2Under the conditions of=9.5cm, the sensitivity and normalizing of MIR detection and NIR detection It is as shown in Figure 6 to change power.As the concentration C of methane gas increases, the normalized output power of MIR detection and NIR detection is gradually Reduce, but the variation based on the output power of the gas sensing of triple-frequency harmonics generation in cascade low-light is more violent in low concentration, Cause NIR detection that there is higher sensitivity, as shown in Fig. 6 (b), when the concentration of methane gas is less than 0.16, NIR detection has Higher sensitivity.When C tends to 0, the sensitivity of NIR detection is 3 times of MIR detection, the result of this and formula (6) and formula (7) It is identical.Therefore, what is proposed should be based on the gas sensor that triple-frequency harmonics in cascade micro optical fiber generates more suitable for low concentration Gas detection.
As shown in fig. 7, Fig. 7 is methane gas absorption length L1Corresponding critical concentration, critical concentration refer to when different The concentration of methane gas when MIR detection is equal with the sensitivity that NIR is detected;Due to second segment micro optical fiber length L2For formula (4) the normalized power sensitivity in does not influence, so second segment micro optical fiber length L2It is fixed on 9.5 centimetres.Work as first segment Micro optical fiber length L1When increase, critical concentration reduces and tends to 0, it means that when the absorption length of methane gas is sufficiently large, The advantage of the gas sensor based on triple-frequency harmonics generation in cascade micro optical fiber in terms of detection sensitivity fades away.So And the length of micro optical fiber is limited by manufacturing technology.Therefore, gas sensing scheme proposed by the invention can reduce gas absorption Length, that is, the length of first segment micro optical fiber.
The present invention is not limited only to methane gas sensing, is passed suitable for all gas positioned at middle infrared absorption dactylogram Sense.
Technical solution provided by the invention has the benefit that sensing arrangement is simple, absorbs with shorter gas Length and higher detection of gas sensitivity, testing cost is low, and detection speed is fast, and detection accuracy is high, is conducive to integrated.
The foregoing is merely presently preferred embodiments of the present invention, is not intended to limit the invention, it is all in spirit of the invention and Within principle, any modification, equivalent replacement, improvement and so on be should all be included in the protection scope of the present invention.
