Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of photoelectric detection technology, and in particular to a photoelectric gas monitoring device and method. Background Art

[0002] Photoelectric gas monitoring, a core technology in modern environmental monitoring, industrial safety, medical diagnostics, and scientific research, has achieved significant progress in recent years. Traditional gas monitoring methods, including chemical sensors, thermal conductivity detection, and low-resolution spectrometers, have demonstrated limited applicability in specific application scenarios. However, these methods suffer from limited sensitivity and detection accuracy, particularly in trace gas monitoring. With advances in laser technology, spectral detection, and photoelectric conversion technologies, high-sensitivity photoelectric gas monitoring methods have become a research hotspot. Photoelectric gas monitoring utilizes specific interactions between light and gas molecules (such as absorption, scattering, or fluorescence) combined with photoelectric conversion devices to enable non-contact detection of gas composition and concentration. In recent years, the introduction of high-reflectivity optical cavities and nonlinear optical effects has significantly improved detection sensitivity. Tesla coils, due to their ability to generate high-frequency electromagnetic fields and effectively ionize gases, have been applied in various fields. However, while the development of individual technologies has improved the performance of photoelectric gas monitoring, these technologies still face numerous limitations in practical applications.

[0003] The shortcomings of existing photoelectric gas monitoring technologies are primarily reflected in the following two aspects: First, existing technologies have limitations in terms of sensitivity for trace gas detection. Traditional optical detection methods are limited by the intensity of the optical signal itself, and it is difficult to provide sufficient signal strength for detecting low-concentration gases (ppb level or even lower). Although high-reflectivity optical cavities can enhance optical signals by extending the optical path, this approach has limited noise suppression capabilities and, in complex mixed gas environments, can interfere with signal accuracy. Second, current gas monitoring solutions lack adaptability in terms of detection range. Most existing monitoring systems are optimized only for the detection of specific gases and cannot effectively cover the multiple gases in complex environments, limiting their application in multi-gas mixtures. In addition, some technologies rely on gas concentration to enhance the detection signal, but this process may change the original composition or concentration of the gas, increasing errors and reducing the applicability of the system. In summary, existing photoelectric gas monitoring technologies still have considerable room for improvement in terms of sensitivity and multi-gas detection capabilities. Summary of the Invention

[0036] In order to make the above-mentioned objects, features and advantages of the present invention more obvious and easy to understand, the specific embodiments of the present invention are described in detail below with reference to the accompanying drawings.

[0037] In the following description, many specific details are set forth to facilitate a full understanding of the present invention. However, the present invention may also be implemented in other ways different from those described herein. Those skilled in the art may make similar generalizations without violating the connotation of the present invention. Therefore, the present invention is not limited to the specific embodiments disclosed below.

[0038] Secondly, the term "one embodiment" or "embodiment" herein refers to a specific feature, structure, or characteristic that may be included in at least one implementation of the present invention. The phrase "in one embodiment" appearing in various places throughout this specification does not necessarily refer to the same embodiment, nor does it refer to a separate or selective embodiment that is mutually exclusive of other embodiments.

[0039] Example 1, reference Figure 1 and Figure 2 , which is the first embodiment of the present invention, provides a photoelectric gas monitoring method, comprising the following steps:

[0040] S1: Collect target gas through a sampling pump and pre-treat the collected target gas;

[0041] Furthermore, the original target gas enters the sampling pipeline through the sampling pump, the target gas is collected through the sampling pipeline, and the collected target gas is subjected to particle filtering, humidity adjustment, temperature and pressure adjustment, and quality inspection.

[0042] It should be noted that suspended particulate matter in the gas is intercepted by a particulate filter, water vapor is condensed into liquid water and separated from the air flow by a condensation and dehumidification device, pressure is adjusted by a pressure control valve, temperature is adjusted by a thermostat, and quality is detected by a gas quality sensor.

[0043] S2: Ionize the pre-treated target gas through the Tesla coil to generate a light signal;

[0044] Furthermore, through the oscillation of the inductor coil of the Tesla coil and the capacitor, a high-frequency electromagnetic field is generated, which excites the pre-treated target gas into a plasma state and releases a light signal.

[0045] It should be noted that gas molecules are excited to a high-energy state by the electromagnetic field, and when the high-energy state molecules return to the ground state, they release light signals of a specific wavelength.

[0046] S3: optically detecting the light signal through spectral separation and light signal detection;

[0047] Furthermore, the absorption intensity of the light signal is calculated through spectral separation and light signal detection, and the expression is:

[0048]

[0049] Where I is the intensity of the detected light signal, I0 is the intensity of the incident light, and α i is the absorption coefficient of the i-th gas, C i is the concentration of the i-th gas, L is the physical length of the optical cavity, and R is the reflectivity of the mirror.

[0050] It should be noted that the light signal released by the ionized gas passes through a spectral filter to separate the target spectral band, and a broadband light source (ultraviolet-visible light or infrared light) is used to interact with the gas molecules to supplement the spectral information; after the light signal is separated by the spectral filter, it directly enters the subsequent nonlinear optical enhancement module.

[0051] S4: Nonlinear enhancement of optical signals through nonlinear optical effects and conversion into electrical signals;

[0052] Furthermore, the optical signal is passed through the second harmonic crystal for nonlinear interaction to generate frequency-doubled light. The intensity of the frequency-doubled light is calculated as follows:

[0053]

[0054] Among them, I SHG is the intensity of the doubled frequency light, η is the nonlinear efficiency coefficient, d eff is the nonlinear efficiency coefficient, ∈0 is the vacuum permittivity, λ is the wavelength of the input light, n1 is the refractive index of the input light, n2 is the refractive index of the doubled frequency light, c is the speed of light in vacuum, represents the influence factor of wave vector matching, and D is the physical length of the crystal;

[0055] It should be noted that the intensity of the frequency-doubled light I SHG ≥0, when the input light intensity I=0 or the wave vector mismatch is serious, the frequency doubled signal is 0. When the input light intensity increases or the wave vector is well matched, the frequency doubled signal reaches the maximum value. The value range is [0, 1], indicating the efficiency of wave-vector matching. When the value is 1, the matching is optimal. The optical signal undergoes nonlinear interaction through the second harmonic crystal, generating frequency-doubled light. The intensity of the frequency-doubled light depends on the nonlinear efficiency coefficient of the crystal, the vacuum permittivity, the wavelength and refractive index of the input light, the refractive index of the frequency-doubled light, the speed of light in vacuum, the wave-vector matching factor, and the physical length of the crystal. The intensity of the frequency-doubled light is calculated through a comprehensive formula, enabling the description and analysis of nonlinear optical processes.

[0056] The frequency-doubled light is received by a highly sensitive photodetector and converted into an electrical signal. The photodetector outputs a current expressed as:

[0057] I e =p·I SHG ;

[0058] Among them, I e is the photocurrent output by the detector, and p is the photoresponsivity of the photodetector.

[0059] It should be noted that I e ≥0, when the frequency-doubled light intensity is zero, the detector output current is zero; the higher the frequency-doubled light intensity, the greater the detector output current, R p A typical value is about 0.4.

[0060] S5: Calculate the actual concentration of the gas based on the electrical signal and generate a detection report.

[0061] Furthermore, the received electrical signal is calibrated and normalized by using a cavity without gas and a gas with a known concentration. Based on the normalized electrical signal, the actual ambient concentration of the gas is calculated using the expression:

[0062]

[0063] Among them, C env,i is the actual environmental concentration of the i-th gas, I n,i is the normalized electrical signal intensity, β i is the gas absorption coefficient, L is the optical path length;

[0064] Integrate the actual environmental concentration of the target gas, detection time, environmental parameters and equipment status to generate a detection report;

[0065] It should be noted that the calculated C env,i is the actual ambient concentration of the i-th gas, which is normalized and corrected according to the ambient temperature and pressure;

[0066] The actual environmental concentration of the target gas, detection time, environmental parameters and equipment status are integrated to generate a detection report.

[0067] It should be noted that the gas concentration is the final corrected standard concentration, the detection time is the specific detection time and date, accurate to seconds, the environmental parameters include actual detection conditions such as temperature, pressure, and humidity, and the equipment status includes equipment operating parameters such as laser power, detector gain, and optical cavity reflectivity.
