[0043] Figure 1 An embodiment of the present application discloses a synchronous temperature and velocity measuring TDLAS method, as shown in Figure 1, which comprises the following steps: Figure 1
[0044] S1, a collimating mirror 5 and a photodetector 6 are set up to ensure that the laser emitted by the collimating mirror 5 can accurately enter the photodetector 6 after entering the flow field to be measured;

[0046] S3, the signal generator 3 is turned on, the frequency and electrical signal parameters are set in the signal generator 3 according to the selected spectrum line of the laser 1, the control module of the laser 1 is turned on, and the temperature parameter is adjusted to match the working temperature of the laser 1;
[0047] S4, the NI control software is turned on, the collection card is self-calibrated and self-built to enter the working state, then the LabVIEW software is turned on, and the sampling number and sampling rate are set; and
[0048] S5, data acquisition of the electrical signal, a number of data are measured and then averaged, by measuring data baseline fitting to obtain the incident laser intensity and the projection of the light intensity ratio of the logarithmic graph, the ambient temperature, the detection wavelength center position and the calculation of the two beams of frequency shift map, the calculation of the gas flow rate.
[0049] Specifically, the basic law of light absorption by matter is called Beer-Lambert law, Beer-Lambert law is applicable to all electromagnetic radiation and light-absorbing substances including gas, liquid, molecule and ion. When a beam of light with a central frequency of υ Laser through the measured medium, the measured medium absorbs laser, different molecules in the measured medium will produce transition and other reactions, so the light intensity before and after the incident will change accordingly. The light intensity of the transmitted light and the incident light satisfies Beer-Lambert law:
[0050] ,
[0051] In the formula, I 0 is the incident laser intensity; I t is the transmitted laser intensity; l is the length of the measured area; P is the total pressure; X is the concentration of the absorbing gas; T is the temperature; Ф is a linear function; S(T) is the line intensity of the absorption spectrum; the above formula is transformed into the following formula, and A i defined as the integral absorbance, then:
[0052] ,
[0053] defined as the integral absorption coefficient at the path l , then:
[0054] ,
[0055] When the laser passes through a gas medium, the temperature, pressure and concentration of which are uniformly distributed, the integral absorption coefficient can be expressed as:
[0056] .
[0057] In this embodiment, the double-line ratio method is used when measuring the temperature. The double-line ratio method is to use two spectral lines with the same path to obtain the temperature by comparing the integral absorption area of the two spectral lines. The temperature formula is:
[0058] ,
[0059] wherein, h is the Planck constant; c is the speed of light; k is the Boltzmann constant; are the low energy level energies of the absorption transition of the two spectral lines, respectively; A 1 、A 2 are the integrated absorbances of the two lasers, respectively; S 1 、S 2 are the line strengths of the two absorption spectral lines at the transition, respectively; T 0 is the reference temperature, usually set to 296 K.
[0060] Further, the method of calculating temperature directly using incident light intensity and outgoing light intensity based on Beer-Lambert law and double-line ratio method is called direct absorption method, and a typical measurement system is shown in FIG. 1. The function of the signal generator 3 is to generate a sawtooth wave to load on the laser signal to generate an absorption line type for the convenience of data collection and signal visualization adjustment; a single laser beam is dispersed into multiple laser beams by the optical fiber beam splitter 4, and then enters the etalon and the flow field to be measured; the post-processing system 71 processes the signals of the signal acquisition system, and then obtains the final measurement result. Figure 2
[0061] When TDLAS technology is used for measurement, the double-line ratio method is selected, so it is necessary to couple two spectral lines of different wave bands when the system is built. The time division multiplexing scheme is simple in equipment, the beam splitter 4 combines different lasers into the same path, and different lasers have the same receiving source, i.e. are received by the same photodetector 6, which can eliminate the error caused by different receiving sources, so the time division multiplexing scheme can effectively match the direct absorption method using the double-line temperature measurement method. For the double-line temperature measurement time division multiplexing scheme used in this embodiment, two spectral lines of different wavelengths are coupled into the same optical path, and are alternated in time by opposite-phase triggering, so that the same measurement period is evenly divided into two time periods, and only one laser 1 is turned on in the front and rear time periods, so that two spectral lines can be measured simultaneously in the same path.
[0062] Specifically, in this embodiment, when using the dual-line ratio method for temperature measurement, it is necessary to couple two spectral lines of different wavelengths during system setup. A beam splitter 4 is used to collect the laser signals generated by two different lasers 1, and then the two are coupled using time-division multiplexing. Subsequently, the coupled laser signals are divided into eight identical optical paths and transmitted to the collimating lens 5 for measurement. By triggering with opposite phases, the measurement cycle is evenly divided into two time periods, with only one laser 1 turned on in each time period, so as to achieve simultaneous measurement of two spectral lines on the same path.
[0063] The theoretical basis of TDLAS velocity measurement is the Doppler effect of light. Its main principle is that the wavelength of light emitted by an object changes due to the relative motion between the wave source and the observer. Objects in front of and behind a moving wave source will have their radiated waves compressed and stretched, respectively, resulting in opposite frequency changes. Based on the degree of frequency shift in front of and behind the moving wave source, the velocity of the wave source along the observation direction can be calculated.
[0064] Based on the Doppler effect, velocity measurement using TDLAS technology is a dual-optical-path measurement method, such as... Figure 2 As shown. Two laser beams are generated by the same laser 1. Both beams pass through the flow field under test and intersect on the same plane. Considering the flow field as a moving wave source, the two laser beams will be compressed and stretched respectively due to their different directions relative to the flow field. The absorption spectra of the two laser beams will generate Doppler frequency shifts. Combining the Doppler frequency shift ∆v of the two laser beams, the flow field velocity is calculated using the following formula:
[0065] ,
[0066] In the formula, Δυ For frequency; υ 0 The centerline frequency; u Represents the flow velocity; c is the speed of light; This represents the angle between the laser beam and the airflow direction.
[0067] Furthermore, Figure 3 This is a schematic diagram illustrating the process of post-processing acquired data to obtain gas flow rate and ambient temperature using a TDLAS system according to an embodiment of this application. The software portion of the TDLAS system built in this embodiment consists of two parts: a LabVIEW-based data acquisition system and a Python-based post-processing program. The data acquisition system controls the opening and closing of the entire system and the setting of acquisition parameters, while the Python post-processing program processes and analyzes the acquired data.
[0068] The collected data is loaded into the Python program prepared in advance, and the start and end sampling points are selected according to the position of the absorption peak in the directly absorbed signal. The start and end sampling points are used to perform baseline fitting of the two ends, so as to obtain the fitting formula and related coefficient of the incident light intensity I0. After observing and selecting the appropriate first and last baseline data, the logarithmic processing is performed on the baseline data and the actual collected data of the double-channel laser, and the -ln(It / I0) relationship conversion graph is obtained. At this time, the ambient temperature information can be obtained.
[0069] In order to further obtain the speed information, it is necessary to establish a one-to-one correspondence between frequency and time through the etalon signal. The frequency of the first absorption peak is identified as 0, as the starting point of time and frequency, and the frequency difference between adjacent peaks of the etalon is 0.05 cm -1 By calculation, the frequency of each absorption peak and its corresponding time can be obtained. By using the least square method, the corresponding curve of time and frequency in each period can be fitted. The least square fitting of the etalon signal of the two-channel laser signal is performed, and the obtained curve is the corresponding change of time and frequency. The red curve is the fitted curve. When using TDLAS to measure the speed, it is necessary to obtain the frequency shift of the optical path due to the Doppler effect, so it is necessary to convert the time into frequency. After substituting time and frequency, the center frequency corresponding to the peak value is found by using the maximum value extraction algorithm, and then the frequency shift of the two-channel signal is obtained, and the gas flow speed is calculated.
[0070] Specifically, the process of measuring the temperature and airflow speed of the environment by using the application is as follows: first, the collimating mirror 1 and the photodetector 6 are set up to ensure that the laser emitted by the collimating mirror 1 can accurately enter the photodetector 6 after entering the flow field to be measured. At this time, a red light test light source is needed to be connected to the optical fiber collimator in the light path adjustment, and the red light is used to adjust the light path or an infrared display card is used to convert the invisible infrared waveband light beam into visible light, and the light path is precisely adjusted after being connected to the semiconductor laser 1. Then the signal generator 3 is turned on, and the frequency and electrical signal parameters are set in the signal generator 3 according to the selected DFB laser 1 spectrum line, that is, two selected H2O absorption spectrum lines with wavelengths of 1388.1 nm and 1344.9 nm. Then the laser 1 control module is turned on, and the temperature parameter is adjusted to match the working temperature of the DFB laser 1. The NI control software is turned on to calibrate and build the acquisition card, so that it enters the working state. Then the LabVIEW software is turned on, and the sampling number and sampling rate are set. The sampling number / sampling rate is the frequency, which needs to be consistent with the frequency set in the signal generator 3. The sampling number represents the number of sampling points per cycle, and in this embodiment, the sampling number is set to 2000 per cycle. The phase-locked amplifier is adjusted to stabilize the signal waveform, and then the data collection is started. After the data is collected, it is entered into the computer. In the computer, the collected data is measured and averaged, and the baseline is fitted to obtain the logarithmic graph of the intensity ratio of the laser before and after the laser, and the environmental temperature information is calculated. Then the frequency shift graph of the two light beams is calculated, and the gas speed information is obtained synchronously.
[0071] In a second aspect, the embodiment of the application provides a TDLAS system for synchronous temperature measurement and speed measurement, as shown in Figure 4 and Figure 5 , which comprises a laser 1, a laser temperature and current control module 2, a signal generator 3, a beam splitter 4, a collimating mirror 5, a photodetector 6, a standard device and a data acquisition system 7.
[0072] In one embodiment, the laser 1 is used to provide a stable light source output, configured as a distributed feedback ring vortex; the laser temperature and current control module 2 includes a laser temperature controller 21 and a circuit controller for controlling the temperature control voltage and injection current of the laser 1, controlling the output wavelength of the laser 1 to be the water molecule absorption spectrum line, and generating a sawtooth wave control spectrum line through the signal generator 3 to modulate the laser 1 signal, facilitating signal acquisition; the signal generator 3 is used to generate specific triangular wave and sine wave signals, which act on the laser 1 to modulate the laser signal; the beam splitter 4 is used to connect the adjusted light, first collecting two different laser signals generated by the laser 1, coupling in a time division multiplexing manner, and then splitting into multiple optical paths; the collimating mirror 5 is responsible for the emission of the laser in the measurement area, which carries the flow field related information after passing through the measurement area; the photodetector 6 is used to receive the laser in the measurement area, accept the information carried by the laser, and convert the photoelectric information; the etalon is used to establish a one-to-one correspondence between time and frequency through the principle of multi-beam interference; the data acquisition system 7 is used to collect the photoelectric signal received by the photodetector 6, measure two-way data respectively, and average process after measurement, and obtain the logarithmic graph of the laser intensity ratio after baseline fitting, calculate the frequency shift graph of the two beams, and then the temperature and velocity information of the flow field can be obtained synchronously.
[0073] Reference Figure 5 In this embodiment, the laser 1 is a distributed feedback laser (DFB). The DFB laser has a wide wavelength range, high temperature resistance, narrow line width, high tuning accuracy and high cost performance, so the DFB laser 1 is selected for the experimental system. The working temperature is controlled by the temperature control module 2, and stable working temperature output can ensure stable output in the waveband.
[0074] The laser 1 is fixed on a butterfly clamp, which is provided with a signal input port to receive the signal output by the laser temperature and current control module 2 to excite the laser 1. In this embodiment, the model is a Japanese NTT / NEL infrared semiconductor laser 1. The wavelength of the laser 1 covers the water vapor and carbon dioxide characteristic absorption peaks, and the wavelength range is specifically 1290-1360 nm, the fiber output power is 10 mW, and the output line width is 2 MHz. The butterfly packaged DFB semiconductor laser 1 fixed seat is used to fix the semiconductor laser 1, which has a DB9 interface to facilitate connection with test instruments, and a Y-shaped groove is designed at the front end of the clamp to facilitate fixation with an optical platform. The laser temperature and current control module 2 is a North Space The company self-made product can realize the control of the temperature control voltage and the injection current of the DFB laser 1, so that the output laser center wavelength scans the characteristic absorption peak of the gas to be measured. After the absorption of the gas to be measured, the light signal carrying the change is converted into an electrical signal, which is input into the host computer for signal processing.
[0075] The signal generator 3 mainly functions to generate specific triangular wave and sine wave signals, which are applied to the DFB laser 1 to modulate the laser signals. The selected signal generator 3 is a model AFG1062 of Tektronix, with double-channel output, and the output voltage is manually adjusted. The parameters meet the requirements. The function of the beam splitter 4 is to collect the laser signals generated by the two different lasers 1, and then couple them in a time division multiplexing manner. Subsequently, the coupled laser signals are divided into 8 beams of the same light path and transmitted to the collimator 5 for measurement. The collimator is used to convert the divergent light emitted from the tail fiber of the laser 1 into parallel light, so as to ensure that the spot size is basically consistent within the test distance, reduce the light power loss, and ensure the accuracy of the test. The working distance is greater than or equal to 30 cm, and it is coated with an anti-reflection film, which can meet the requirements of 1050 nm-2700 nm laser transmission.

The photodetector 6 converts the received light signal into an electrical signal, with a detection range of 1.2-2.0 μm, a bandwidth of 15 MHz, and a light-sensitive surface of 2.5 mm. It is responsible for receiving laser in the measurement area, and is fixed by an optical fixing and adjusting device. The fine adjustment screw on the fixing device is used for light path fine adjustment and alignment.

The present application adopts a Fabry-Perot etalon, i.e. a F-P interferometer, which is a scanning type SA200-12B of Thorlabs company, suitable for a wavelength range of 1275-2000 nm. The data acquisition system 7 can collect the photoelectric signal received by the photodetector 6, and perform the next step of analysis and processing under the control of the application program in the computer. The data acquisition card is integrated with the computer.
