Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to a device and method for measuring gas pressure based on a femtosecond dual optical comb, belonging to the field of laser measurement technology. Background Technology
[0002] Pressure measurement has wide applications in aerospace, biomedicine, nuclear energy, and other fields. Gas pressure measurement is a crucial component, and accurate gas pressure measurement technology is indispensable. Currently, the main method for gas pressure measurement relies on traditional pressure sensors. While these sensors offer high accuracy and low cost, they suffer from wear and tear due to repetitive and long-term operation, decreased accuracy, and calibration errors. Mass spectrometry, represented by quadrupole mass spectrometers, is also widely used for gas partial pressure measurement. However, this technology has certain drawbacks: 1. Variations in the ionization probabilities of different gases lead to inconsistent output gain, making calibration extremely complex and difficult; 2. The measured values of gas partial pressure often depend on the partial pressures and total pressure of other gases, making independent calibration of gas mixtures and total pressure virtually impossible; 3. This technology cannot operate in low vacuum (10⁻⁶ km² / h). -2 When operating at pressures above a certain pressure (Pa), the measurement sensitivity becomes unstable. Optical, especially laser-based, non-invasive measurement offers an excellent technical solution to address these issues, and exploring the application of laser technology in pressure measurement and calibration is currently an important research direction.
[0003] Optical non-contact pressure measurement methods can be broadly categorized into laser interferometry and laser spectroscopy. Laser interferometry primarily utilizes the correlation between changes in gas density, refractive index, and optical path length caused by variations in gas pressure. It measures the change in optical path length using a laser interferometer to achieve gas pressure measurement. Laser interferometry is mainly used for measuring nonpolar gas molecules. Laser spectroscopy primarily utilizes gas absorption spectroscopy for pressure measurement. While interferometry and spectroscopy differ in their technical principles, they are complementary in application. In spectroscopy, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is widely used for gas concentration measurement, enabling the identification and concentration measurement of gas molecules in mixed gases. Furthermore, the absorption spectrum of a gas contains pressure information about its molecules, thus TDLAS can also measure gas pressure. Although TDLAS avoids most of the problems associated with mass spectrometry pressure measurement, the spectral bandwidth of diode lasers is limited, generally limiting TDLAS to measuring only a single gas component. Therefore, the multi-gas measurement capability and accuracy of TDLAS are affected. Furthermore, the slow speed of acquiring spectral information through scanning also affects the measurement speed, significantly reducing its ability to meet the needs of online dynamic measurements. Essentially, these shortcomings of TDLAS stem primarily from its extremely narrow spectral band and slow electronic tuning spectrum acquisition method. In summary, current gas pressure measurement technologies all suffer from some degree of technical deficiencies and limitations. Summary of the Invention
[0004] The purpose of this invention is to provide a device and method for measuring gas pressure based on a femtosecond dual-comb optical spectrum. This method utilizes the advantages of a femtosecond dual-comb optical spectrum system, such as broadband spectroscopy, extremely high spectral resolution, and fast laser spectroscopy, to simultaneously acquire multiple absorption lines of the same gas, thereby improving the measurement accuracy of gas partial pressure. The broadband spectrum simultaneously acquires absorption lines of multiple gases, enabling simultaneous measurement of the pressure of multiple gas components. The total gas pressure is obtained by summing the partial pressures of the mixed gases, achieving simultaneous online dynamic measurement of the pressure of multiple gas components.
[0005] The objective of this invention is achieved through the following technical solution:
[0006] This invention discloses a gas pressure measurement device based on a femtosecond dual optical comb, comprising a light source module, a measurement module, a detection module, and a data processing module. The light source module includes a first optical frequency comb and a second optical frequency comb, outputting two near-infrared broadband optical frequency combs for measurement. The light source module uses optical fibers to transmit the two laser beams to the measurement module. The measurement module adjusts and couples the laser beams to form a measurement path and a reference path in the measurement optical path. After receiving two laser beams from the light source module, the measurement module amplifies the laser energy of the first optical frequency comb by connecting it to a first power amplifier via optical fiber, and amplifies the laser energy of the second optical frequency comb by connecting it to a second power amplifier via optical fiber. The first power amplifier filters the laser energy by connecting it to a first wavelength division multiplexer via optical fiber, reducing the spectral linewidth to improve measurement resolution, sampling rate, and measurement speed. Similarly, the second power amplifier is connected to a second wavelength division multiplexer via optical fiber to reduce the spectral linewidth. The first wavelength division multiplexer is connected to a first 1×2 fiber beam splitter via optical fiber to split the laser into two beams, beam 1 and beam 2. Similarly, the second wavelength division multiplexer and the second 1×2 fiber beam splitter are connected via optical fiber to split the laser into two beams, beam 3 and beam 4. Finally, beams 1 and 4 beat to form the measurement path signal, and beams 2 and 3 beat to form the reference path signal. The first 1×2 fiber optic beam splitter's beam 1 is connected to a beam expander via optical fiber. The beam expander outputs a spatial laser beam as the measurement optical path, expanding the laser beam to increase the contact volume between the laser and the gas. The spatial laser beam is input to a collimating lens, coupling it into an optical fiber, and then input to a second 2×2 fiber optic coupler via optical fiber. The second 1×2 fiber optic beam splitter's beam 2 is input to the first 2×2 fiber optic coupler via optical fiber. The second 1×2 fiber optic beam splitter's beam 3 and beam 4 are input to the second 2×2 fiber optic coupler via optical fiber. The first and second 2×2 fiber optic couplers couple the two input laser beams and output them to the detection module via optical fiber. The detection module includes a first balanced detector and a second balanced detector, which convert the input beat frequency signal into an electrical signal output for easy signal acquisition. A first 2×2 fiber optic coupler is connected to the first balanced detector to output a reference path signal, and a second 2×2 fiber optic coupler is connected to the second balanced detector to output a measurement path signal. All are connected to the data processing module via a data transmission line. The data processing module includes a host computer for data processing from the data acquisition card, which performs calculations on the acquired signals to obtain gas pressure values.
[0007] In order to increase the laser energy of the measurement path, thereby improving the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement signal and optimizing the utilization of laser energy, as a preferred method, the first 1×2 fiber beam splitter divides the laser energy into 70%–90% and 10%–30%, with 70%–90% of the laser energy being transmitted to the beam expander.
[0008] To maximize the laser energy of the measurement path and the signal-to-noise ratio of the measurement signal, as a further preferred option, the first 1×2 fiber beam splitter divides the laser energy into 90% and 10%, with 90% of the laser energy being transmitted to the beam expander.

The gas pressure measurement method based on a femtosecond dual optical comb includes the following steps:
[0010] Step 1: Construct the gas pressure measurement device according to the femtosecond dual-comb-based gas pressure measurement device. Near-infrared laser emitted from the first optical frequency comb is amplified by the first power amplifier to increase its measurement energy. The laser then passes through a first wavelength division multiplexer and a first 1×2 fiber beam splitter, splitting the laser energy into beam 1 and beam 2. Beam 2 is transmitted to a first 2×2 fiber coupler, while beam 1's laser energy is transmitted to a beam expander as the measurement path signal. The measurement path laser is absorbed by gas molecules in a high-pressure gas chamber, obtaining a gas absorption signal, which is then received by a collimating lens and transmitted to a second 2×2 fiber coupler. The first and second wavelength division multiplexers are identical, but they reduce the spectral linewidth to improve measurement resolution, sampling rate, and measurement speed. The second optical frequency comb emits near-infrared laser light with a repetition frequency similar to that of the first optical frequency comb. The laser energy is amplified by a second power amplifier, then passed through a second wavelength division multiplexer, and finally through a second 1×2 fiber beam splitter, splitting the laser energy into beams 3 and 4. Beam 3 is transmitted to a first 2×2 fiber coupler, and beam 4 is transmitted to a second 2×2 fiber coupler. The first 2×2 fiber coupler transmits the signal to a first balanced detector, which acquires the time-domain interferogram after frequency beating as the measurement path signal. The second 2×2 fiber coupler transmits the signal to a second balanced detector, which acquires the time-domain interferogram after frequency beating as the reference path signal. The measurement path signal and the reference path signal are then transmitted to a data processing host computer for data processing. After performing Fourier transform and filtering on the interferogram signal, the spectral results of the measurement path and the reference path are obtained in the frequency domain.

Simultaneously, obtain multiple absorption peaks of the same gas, calculate a partial pressure value for each absorption peak, and obtain multiple pressure values in parallel. Averaging these values yields the final, more accurate measurement result P. p The calculation uses formula (4):
