Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present application relates to the field of gas sensing technology, and in particular to a device and method for detecting gas concentration using photothermoelastic spectroscopy based on an annular absorption cell. Background Art

[0002] Trace gas detection technology plays a vital role in environmental, industrial, aerospace, and medical fields. Recently, photothermoelastic spectroscopy (LITES), a non-contact detection technique, has emerged. It uses a small, low-cost, and wide-wavelength-response tuning-fork quartz crystal oscillator (QI) to replace traditional photodetectors to detect changes in light absorption intensity. In LITES, an absorption cell is placed within a test gas environment to enable interaction between laser light and the gas being measured. Laser light emitted from the absorption cell illuminates the surface of the tuning-fork quartz crystal oscillator. The heat energy generated by the light absorption is converted into mechanical vibrations of the oscillator's arms through the photothermoelastic effect. When the light intensity is modulated at the resonant frequency of the crystal oscillator, the mechanical vibrations of the crystal arms are amplified and converted into an electrical signal proportional to the absorbed light intensity through the piezoelectric effect. The tuning-fork quartz crystal oscillator is placed outside the absorption cell and signals are acquired by detecting the intensity of the light emitted from the cell. This separates the laser action area from the detection area, reducing the risk of detector corrosion from corrosive gases and improving the system's long-range detection capabilities.

[0003] In photothermoelastic spectroscopy (PTES), to improve the absorption path of lasers, some teams have used absorption cells that enable multiple reflections of the laser, providing an interaction path of tens of meters. However, traditional absorption cells typically consist of two or more spherical mirrors, which have poor mechanical stability between the spherical mirror groups. This requires more optical components for optical path alignment, increasing system complexity. Therefore, how to achieve a highly stable and compact PTS gas concentration detection device remains a pressing challenge for both industry and academia. Summary of the Invention

Based on the embodiments of this application, all other embodiments obtained by ordinary technicians in this field without making creative efforts are within the scope of protection of this application.

In the absence of further limitations, an element defined by the phrase "comprising..." does not preclude the presence of additional identical elements in the process, method, article, or apparatus that includes the element.

[0020] In a first aspect, this embodiment provides a Figure 1 The photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection device based on an annular absorption cell shown includes: A light source system for generating and outputting a wavelength-modulatable laser beam; The laser absorption system 6 is used to achieve high-precision, long-distance interaction between the laser beam and the gas to be measured. It includes an integrated annular absorption cell 61, a fiber collimator 62, and an optical converging lens 63. The side wall of the integrated annular absorption cell 61 is provided with a laser window. After the laser beam enters the fiber collimator 62, it passes through the laser window and enters the integrated annular absorption cell 61. After multiple reflections, it is emitted from the laser window and incident on the optical converging lens 63. A signal detection system for detecting the intensity of the light emitted after focusing from the optical converging lens 63 and converting it into an electrical signal; The data processing system is used to demodulate the electrical signal generated by the signal detection system and invert the concentration of the gas to be measured.

[0021] In one embodiment, the light source system includes: a laser light source 1, a first function generator 2, a second function generator 3, a signal adder 4, and a light source control module 5. The light source control module 5 is used to control the light source temperature and current of the laser light source. The outputs of the first and second function generators 2 and 3 are respectively connected to the inputs of the signal adder 4. Specifically, the first function generator 2 is connected to input terminal 1 of the signal adder 4, and the output of the second function generator 3 is connected to input terminal 2 of the signal adder 4. The voltage amplitude of the first function generator 2 is adjusted so that the wavelength of the output laser continuously scans near the selected absorption line of the gas to be measured. The scanning rate is set to 50 mHz to ensure that the output laser wavelength slowly passes through the target absorption line of the gas to be measured. The output frequency of the second function generator 3 is set to half the resonant frequency of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 described below. The output of the signal adder 4 is connected to the input of the light source control module 5, and the output of the light source control module 5 is connected to the laser light source 1. Under the control of the light source control module 5, the laser light source 1 outputs a wavelength-modulated laser beam. The output end of the laser light source 1 is connected to the input end of the optical fiber collimator 62 .

[0022] It is feasible that the laser light source is an infrared laser light source or a terahertz laser light source.

[0023] In one embodiment, the integrated annular absorption pool 61, the optical fiber collimator 62 and the optical converging lens 63 are coaxially arranged (i.e., all three are located on the same optical path), and the horizontal angle between the axis of the laser beam output by the optical fiber collimator 62 and the laser window is 10° to 85°. By rotating the angle between the annular optical path pool mirror and the laser beam, adjusting the height, and observing the number of light spots in the cavity, the number of reflections and the optical path are determined. Figure 2 As shown, in this embodiment, the main structure of the integrated annular absorption pool 61 is a hollow cylindrical chamber design with an inner diameter of 20 cm and a height of 8 cm. A circular through hole with a diameter of 2.5 cm is provided on the side wall of the integrated annular absorption pool 61 for installing a laser window. After the laser beam is incident from the laser window on the side wall, it is reflected multiple times by the inner wall to form an annular light path, which significantly increases the effective optical path.

[0024] like Figure 3 As shown in the figure, the propagation path of the laser beam in the annular optical path cell under different incident angles is simulated using TracePro simulation software. The incident light enters the annular absorption cell at a specific angle and then cyclically reflects along the inner wall of the annular cell. The propagation pattern formed by the cyclic reflection of the light on the inner wall is called a star polygon. Figure 3 The simulation results are shown in Figure 1, when the horizontal angles between the axis of the incident laser beam and the laser window are 48° and 70°, respectively, and the number of reflections is 5 and 13.

[0025] Furthermore, the optical path distribution in the integrated annular absorption cell 61 adopts an annular optical path layout. When the horizontal angle between the axis of the laser beam output by the optical fiber collimator 62 and the laser window is 81.43°, a maximum of 26 reflections can be achieved, corresponding to an equivalent absorption path length of 5.2 m.

[0026] Furthermore, the side walls of the integrated annular absorption pool 61 are integrally formed using stainless steel material, and the laser beam is reflected multiple times on the inner wall surface of the integrated annular absorption pool 61, thereby improving the mechanical stability of the absorption pool; the inner surface of the integrated annular absorption pool 61 is polished with high precision and coated with a silver film with a reflectivity of 98%, thereby reducing the loss of optical power; the bottom of the integrated annular absorption pool 61 is laser welded to achieve a fully enclosed structure, and dual gas path interfaces are symmetrically arranged on the top as the inlet and outlet of the gas to be measured.

[0027] In one embodiment, the signal detection system includes a tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 and a preamplifier circuit module 8, wherein the two signal input ports of the preamplifier circuit module 8 are connected to the two electrodes of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7, and one of the signal input ends of the preamplifier circuit module 8 is connected to the electrode output end of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 and then grounded; the outgoing light focused by the optical converging lens 63 is irradiated on the surface of the vibration arm base of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7.

[0028] Furthermore, the arm of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 is a segmented, variable-section cantilever beam structure. The total height of the quartz crystal oscillator arm is 10 mm, with a lateral width of 2 mm at the top and a length of 3 mm, and a lateral width of 1.5 mm at the bottom and a length of 7 mm. The thickness of the quartz crystal oscillator arm is 0.3 mm, and the gap between the two arms is 1 mm. The outgoing laser beam is focused by a converging lens and irradiated onto the surface of the arm base of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 at a distance of 1.2 mm to 2.5 mm from the bottom of the arm.

[0029] Furthermore, the resonance frequency of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 is 12 kHz, the frequency of the sinusoidal signal generated by the second function generator 3 is 6 kHz, and the demodulation mode of the lock-in amplifier module 9 is the second harmonic demodulation mode.

[0030] In one embodiment, the data processing system includes a lock-in amplifier module 9 and a computer 10. The signal output of the preamplifier circuit module 8 is connected to the signal input of the lock-in amplifier module 9, which is in turn connected to the computer 10. The reference signal output of the second function generator 3 is connected to the reference signal input of the lock-in amplifier module 9. During the demodulation process, the time constant and filter slope of the lock-in amplifier module 9 are set to 1 s and 12 dB / oct.

[0031] In a second aspect, this embodiment provides a method for detecting gas concentration by photothermoelastic spectroscopy based on an annular absorption cell, which is applied to the above-mentioned device for detecting gas concentration by photothermoelastic spectroscopy based on an annular absorption cell. The method comprises the following steps: S1- The laser light source 1 outputs a laser beam under the action of the light source control module 5; the first function generator 2 outputs a triangular wave signal, and scans the output wavelength of the laser light source 1 by adjusting its voltage amplitude, that is, by controlling the voltage amplitude of the triangular wave signal, the output wavelength of the laser light source is scanned within a certain range; the second function generator 3 outputs a sine signal, and modulates the output wavelength of the laser light source 1 by adjusting its modulation frequency; The S2-laser beam is collimated by the fiber collimator 62 and then incident on the integrated annular absorption cell 61, and forms an annular optical path through multiple reflections on the inner wall of the integrated annular absorption cell 61; S3-The outgoing light beam after multiple reflections is focused by a converging lens and then irradiated onto the surface of the vibrating arm base of the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7. The tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7 generates mechanical vibrations through the photothermoelastic effect; S4-collect the electrical signal generated by the tuning fork quartz crystal oscillator 7, demodulate it through the lock-in amplifier module 9 and then invert the concentration of the gas to be measured.

[0032] It should be noted that the photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection method based on annular absorption cell provided in this embodiment corresponds to the aforementioned photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection device based on annular absorption cell. Therefore, the parts that are not specifically described in the photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection method based on annular absorption cell (including but not limited to specific structure / function limitations, parameter limitations, technical effects, etc.) can be correspondingly referred to the description of the aforementioned photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection device based on annular absorption cell, and will not be repeated here.

[0033] Based on the above, if Figure 4 As shown in the figure, the measurement results of acetylene concentration using the photothermoelastic spectroscopic gas concentration detection device based on the annular absorption cell provided in this embodiment and the trace gas concentration detection device based on the traditional absorption cell are respectively used. The solid line is the signal detected by the photothermoelastic spectroscopic gas concentration detection device based on the annular absorption cell of this embodiment, wherein the excitation light beam is reflected 26 times in the absorption cell, corresponding to an equivalent absorption path length of 5.2 m. The dotted line is the signal detected by the trace gas concentration detection device based on the traditional absorption cell, corresponding to an equivalent absorption path length of 0.6 m. Figure 4 It can be seen that under the same experimental conditions, the signal detected by the photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection device based on the annular absorption cell of this embodiment is about 8 times higher than the signal detected by the trace gas concentration detection device using the traditional absorption cell.

[0034] In summary, the annular absorption cell-based photothermoelastic spectroscopy gas concentration detection device and method of this embodiment employs an integrated annular absorption cell 61. Multiple reflections of the laser beam on the integrated annular absorption cell 61 address the poor mechanical stability of conventional absorption cells. Furthermore, the integrated annular absorption cell 61 achieves a high number of reflections despite its compact size, significantly increasing the effective interaction path length and enhancing the detection sensitivity of the photothermoelastic spectroscopy sensor. A tuning fork-type quartz crystal oscillator 7 with a segmented, variable-section cantilever beam structure is employed. By reducing the mass at the bottom of the oscillator arm, the quality factor of the quartz crystal oscillator is increased, improving the oscillator's photothermal conversion capability. Furthermore, the resonant frequency of the tuning fork-type quartz crystal oscillator 7 is set to 12 kHz, increasing the energy accumulation time of the laser within the oscillator arm and further enhancing the sensor's detection sensitivity. The detection target is an optical signal, and the gas to be detected is isolated from the tuning fork-type quartz crystal oscillator 7. Therefore, the device is suitable for long-distance, non-contact detection of corrosive gases. This eliminates the need to consider interference from ambient noise during long-distance transmission and addresses the challenge of detection in confined spaces.
