Problems solved by technology

Disadvantages are: ① use distributed feedback (DFB) laser, expensive body, high system cost
②When using optical fiber to transmit signals, the frequency of the optical signal must be within the low-loss window of the optical fiber, so the characteristic frequency of the gas must also be within this range, which limits the types of gases that this sensor can detect
However, due to the use of a prism structure, it is difficult to miniaturize the device and utilize guided wave high-order modes.
In addition, because the detection amount is the change of the refractive index of the waveguide layer medium, which makes the measurement not selective for the sample, it cannot be used as a gas analysis instrument

Abstract

An air transducer of light waveguide absorption type consists of metal film and optical glass plate at top layer and bottom layer, seat pad, platform and spiral micrometer. The measuring system consists of said transducer, laser source, light signal detecting and processing unit. In the system, the metal film is deposited on glass plate which is placed on platform one by one, the laser source is used to form guidewave and photoelectric diode array is used to detect out light strength variation of outgoing light so as to know variation of air composition in air chamber.

Description

technical field [0001] The invention relates to a sensor in the technical field of measuring instruments and a system composed of it, in particular to a prism-free optical waveguide absorption gas sensor structure and a measurement system based on free space coupling. Background technique [0002] Gas sensors are widely used in environmental monitoring, production process monitoring, gas composition analysis and gas leakage alarm. At present, the commonly used gas sensors are mainly divided into several categories such as electrical, optical, and electrochemical. Among them, the fiber optic gas sensor is a new type of optical sensor that appeared after the 1980s. It uses the characteristic spectral lines of the gas in the infrared band to identify the gas and analyze its concentration. The measurement principle is: different gases have different characteristic infrared absorption spectra, and within a certain concentration range, the infrared absorbance value of each gas ha...
