Description

A kind of optoacoustic spectroscopy gas detecting system based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer
Technical field
The utility model relates to a kind of optoacoustic spectroscopy gas detecting system of the full optics based on Mach-Zehnder interferometer, specifically is a kind of system that utilizes arm of Mach-Zehnder interferometer moral to carry out the optoacoustic spectroscopy gas detection as the optics microphone.
Background technology
Optoacoustic effect is based on the effect that inspires sound wave after the material absorbing light modulated by radiationless hot relaxation heat release, has just found optoacoustic effect as far back as Bell in 1880 etc.Carry out in the absorption spectrum law that gas concentration detects many, optoacoustic spectroscopy has the following advantages: test specification is wide.Photoacoustic technique is the light energy signal that detection material directly absorbs by radiationless transition, rather than the light energy signal of sample is crossed in the measurement transmission, sample is to reflection of incident light like this, scattering can not have influence on measurement result, the sample of fully opaque and high scattering is energy measurement also, measurement range almost spreads all over all states of sample, such as: gas, liquid, Gu, gel, powder, film, colloid etc., but early stage because optoacoustic effect too a little less than, unanimity does not obtain paying attention to, up to the 20 actual seventies, development along with laser technology and feeble signal Detection Techniques, particularly Kreuzer in 1971 utilizes tunable laser to do light source, record the gas absorption spectrum that concentration is low to moderate 10-7 μ g/L, and analyzed the use LASER Light Source theoretically and high sensitivity feeble signal detector can reach 10-13 to the gas optoacoustic spectroscopy detection limit order of magnitude, after this, photoacoustic spectroscopy is developed rapidly.Another advantage is exactly: photoacoustic signal intensity is directly proportional with incident intensity under the situation that absorption of sample luminous energy does not reach capacity, and along with the development of laser technology, the energy that improves incident light becomes relatively easy to increase detection sensitivity.
Because outstanding advantages such as the high sensitivity that the photoacoustic spectroscopy instrument has, great dynamic range, detection in real time, make people very big interest be arranged to the optoacoustic spectroscopy detection technique, continually develop new light sources, research sound sensing technology and Detection of Weak Signals technology, improve the optoacoustic spectroscopy theory, making analyser various aspects of performance based on optoacoustic spectroscopy have significantly improves, in recent years, on industrial and agricultural production, environmental monitoring, military battlefield, many gas-detecting devices based on optoacoustic spectroscopy had been developed in minimum gas monitoring field in succession.The optoacoustic spectroscopy gas analyzer mainly is made up of six parts: monochromatic source, modulator, photoacoustic cell, sonic transducer, signal amplify and detect data recording and transmission.The photo-acoustic spectrometer of commercial typing seldom generally need design voluntarily according to research object and breadboard condition in actual applications and build.The photoacoustic signal that optoacoustic effect excites is surveyed by highly sensitive sonic transducer, uses electret formula capacitor microphone usually.Its monochromatic source of photo-acoustic spectrometer of general design, the amplification and the detection system of signal are positioned at the scene, but at some special occasions, as 1) strong magnetoelectricity and radioactive environment, because physical characteristics is restricting the operation of common microphone, the influence of outside strong-electromagnetic field can cause the forfeiture of these functions of the equipments even destroy them.Traditional microphone comprises capacitor, electret and dynamic microphone, uses to rely on the electronic circuit that contains capacitor or coil.These electronic packages in microphone are highstrung to interference electronics or electromagnetism; 2) gas environment is such as in the colliery excavation site.Electric spark is forbidden occurring in the scene, this means exciting of coherent source to be placed on long-rangely, with the long-range placement of light source, imports in the photoacoustic cell by optical fiber, and there is the hidden danger of safety in the microphone that also just means electronics; 3) detect in the application in environmental contaminants monitoring and battlefield surroundings toxicity, because gas detection equipment dispersed placement, the scene often can not provide power supply, this just need provide on-the-spot passive, structure is small and exquisite, integrated level and the high photoacoustic cell of high sensitivity, and is convenient with what realize detecting.
<Proceedings of the CSEE〉2008,28 (34): p40~46. authors are Yun Yuxin, Chen Weigen, Sun Caixin, Pan's Chong, name is called in " the optoacoustic spectroscopy detection method of methane gas in the transformer oil " article and has proposed a kind of novel micro gas detection technology based on optoacoustic effect, have highly sensitive, selectivity is good, advantages such as dynamic detection range is big, but this detection technique is subject to measurement environment, when having outside electromagnetic field, badly influence measuring accuracy, even the function of checkout equipment can be lost.
Summary of the invention
