Definitions

  • the invention relates to an optical gas sensor and a method for its operation, being guided from a light source emit light ⁇ patented through a hollow light waveguide.
  • Such optical gas sensors use, for example, a laser diode to emit light into a measurement volume.
  • the measurement volume can be represented by a hollow optical waveguide in one embodiment of such sensors.
  • the hollow optical waveguide passes the light along its extension, possibly also around bends, and discharges or reflects it at its end to a detector.
  • the invention provides an optical gas sensor.
  • the gas sensor has a light source, such as a VCSEL (Vertical Cavity Surface-Emitting Laser) or a Laserdio ⁇ de.
  • the light emitted by this is transmitted through a hollow light Waveguide, so a hollow fiber passed.
  • the optical waveguide is arranged to receive the light emitted by the light source.
  • the hollow fiber may be di rectly ⁇ coupled to the light source or at a distance thereto.
  • the light is preferably infrared light, for example in wavelengths between 2 and 10 ⁇ m or else visible light. For broadband light sources, the light may have a wide range of represented wavelengths.
  • the hollow fiber is preferably a multi-mode fiber. It can for example have a diameter of 0.5 mm. Their specific volume can be for example 1.8 ml / m. It can for example consist of an outer cladding layer of S1O 2 and an inner, reflective coating of silver or silver iodide. Their attenuation can be, for example, 1.5 to 4 dB / m for the wavelength range of 2 to 3 ym, this value depending, inter alia, on the curvature of the fiber.
  • the fiber allows access of gases to be measured in their inner cavity.
  • the access can be made for example by the fiber ends. He can also be done through the fiber coat.
  • the fiber cladding may be gas-permeable. He can also holes, column o.ä. Have openings.
  • a portion of the light is absorbed by existing in the fiber gases. This absorption is detected by a detector after passing through the hollow fiber and analyzed.
  • the hollow fiber is treated in accordance with Inventive ⁇ vibrations.
  • interference effects which can occur in the case of a fixed geometry, for example due to reflections, are advantageously reduced in their influence.
  • a measurement for the signal-to-noise ratio can lead to an improvement in the tion by a factor of 10 or more.
  • 200 Hz can be used as the frequency for the vibrations.
  • the amplitude of the vibrations is preferably several 100 ym.
  • the effect of the vibration is large artifacts that occur, for example, by reflections and a large ⁇ SSE amplitude and frequency extension have to convert to noise with a lower frequency expansion.
  • the additional noise can be eliminated by a curve fit of the measurement results much better than the former artifacts.
  • the hollow fiber is brought directly into contact with the light source.
  • the emitted light is not or as little as possible free
  • the hollow fiber is gekop ⁇ pelt directly to the light source. This is particularly advantageous when a VCSEL is USAGE ⁇ det, since the radiation has a small divergence.

  • the hollow fiber 11 has a sheath 1 made of silicon dioxide.
  • befin ⁇ det is a layer 2 of Ag and / or AgI.
  • the interior 3 is hollow and filled with air or other gases. Since the light moves essentially in the interior 3 of the hollow fiber 11, the gas located there is measured.
  • FIG. 2 shows a comparison between a first measurement 4 without and a second measurement 5 with vibration of the hollow fiber 11. It is clearly visible that the strongly fluctuating background caused partly by interference in the first measurement 4 without vibration of the hollow fiber 11 is distinct Disturbance of the evaluation can cause.
  • the second measurement 5 with vibration of the hollow fiber 11 there is little disturbance outside the absorption lines due to water (in the second derivative) with a laser current of between 6 and 6.5 mA.
  • the vibration of the hollow fiber 11 advantageously causes a reduction of the interfering interference. It is advantageously measured over a period of time which is at least longer than the vibration period of the hollow fiber, ideally much longer.
  • the vibration can be performed at 200 Hz, while measured values at 10 Hz are generated .
  • the amplitude of the interference is significantly reduced relative to the amplitude of the signals. In the example given in FIG. 2, a reduction by a factor of 10 is achieved.
  • the vibrations may take place in the longitudinal direction of the hollow fiber 11 or transversely to the longitudinal direction.
  • the hollow fiber 11 can also be curved or even coiled, it is also mög ⁇ Lich that the vibrations in different areas of the hollow fiber have 11 different directions relative to the position of the hollow fiber. 11
  • FIG. 3 shows an exemplary test setup 10.
  • a scoring training and control means 14 controls a light source in the form of a ⁇ 2.3 ym emitting Vertical Cavity Surface Emitting Laser (VCSEL) 12.
  • the light from the VCSEL 12 is in the hollow fiber 11 coupled. It runs there along the extent of the hollow fiber 11 to a detector in the form of an InGaAs photodiode 13.

Abstract

L'invention concerne une mesure optique du gaz avec un VCSEL (12) et un guide d'ondes (11) associé à celui-ci. Le guide d'ondes contient le gaz à mesurer et guide la lumière. Pour chaque mesure, le guide d'ondes (11) est mis en vibration. La mesure du gaz est effectuée et intégrée sur une période de temps. De ce fait, les influences parasites exercées sur la mesure par des interférences sont sensiblement réduites.
