Abstract

The invention relates to a fiber gas sensor based on Fourier transform spectrometry, which is characterized in that a light source is connected with a fiber polarization splitter by a single mode fiber, and the single mode fiber led out from the fiber polarization splitter is respectively connected with the first ports of two same fiber circulators; the second ports of two fiber circulators are connected with two input ends of a sensing head via the single mode fiber; the third ports of two fiber circulators are connected with two single mode fibers with the same length; the receiving surface of the photoelectric detector is parallel to the plane formed by two output ends; and the output end of the photoelectric detector is connected with a signal processing system. By adopting a broad band light source, the invention can obtain bigger radiant flux, simultaneously records all spectrum components, has larger luminous energy output as well as bigger sensitivity and signal-to-noise ratio, lowers requirements to the light source and does not need to know the specific components and absorption peak position of gas to be measured, thus the fiber gas sensor has higher popularity.

Description

technical field

[0001] The invention relates to a fiber optic gas sensor based on Fourier transform spectroscopy and the technical field of fiber optic gas sensors. Background technique

[0002] Optical fiber gas sensing technology is a new type of gas detection technology. Optical fibers have unique light guiding characteristics, so sensors made of optical fibers have a series of advantages that traditional sensors cannot match. Optical fiber has the advantages of low transmission loss, small diameter, light weight, bendable, corrosion resistance, and anti-electromagnetic interference, so the optical fiber sensor can be placed in harsh or dangerous places such as high temperature, humidity, strong noise, flammable, explosive, toxic, etc. In the environment of the environment, the sensing signal is led out by optical fiber, and the long-distance online remote control measurement is carried out in a safe area. In addition, fiber optic sensors also have the characteristics o...
