Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention belongs to the field of gas analysis, and more specifically, relates to a Raman spectroscopy gas detection system and method based on the cooperation of an optical fiber resonator and surface enhancement. Background Art

[0002] The gas composition information (such as H2, O2, H2O, CO, CO2, C x H y 、N x O y etc.) in the narrow and enclosed space of complex equipment (such as energy storage batteries, aerospace and military equipment, etc.) is an effective characteristic quantity for characterizing the function maintenance of the structural materials of the equipment and the physical mechanism of service damage in a special environment. Therefore, it is of great significance to carry out research on the long-term reliable, real-time and stable detection technology of multi-component gases in narrow and enclosed spaces.

[0003] At present, the detection methods of multi-component characteristic gases mainly include chromatography, electrochemistry, infrared absorption spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy, etc., but they generally have problems such as cross-interference of detected gases, long detection cycle, and poor long-term reliability.

[0004] Raman spectroscopy is a spectroscopic analysis method based on the Raman scattering effect. By directly measuring the Raman scattered light generated by a substance due to laser irradiation, the properties and content of the substance can be inferred. Compared with traditional detection methods, it has many advantages such as non-contact, non-destructive, non-consumption of sample molecules, and the ability to simultaneously detect almost all gas components (except single-atom molecular gases) and multi-component mixed gases with a single laser source, and good detection repeatability and long-term stability.

[0005] However, the gas Raman effect is extremely weak, and corresponding technical means are required to increase the Raman signal intensity to meet the detection limit requirements of practical applications.

[0006] CN118090698A discloses a multi-gas detection method and device for cavity-enhanced Raman spectroscopy collection. The method includes forming a reflection cavity through a first and a second concave mirror; the laser emitted by the laser light source is collimated by a first collimating mirror and then enters the reflection cavity for multiple reflections, and trace gas Raman scattered light is excited at the center of the reflection cavity; the Raman scattered light is divided into x, y, and z directions; the Raman scattered light in the x and z directions is collected by two light collection devices respectively; the collected Raman scattered light is collimated by a second collimating mirror, and then sequentially passes through a narrowband filter and a converging mirror and then enters a Raman spectroscopy detector. The device includes a laser light source module, a multiple reflection cavity module, a multi-angle Raman scattered light collection module, and a Raman spectroscopy detection module. However, the enhanced cavity used has a large volume and a large gas demand, and is not suitable for the application scenarios of narrow and enclosed spaces;

[0007] CN115326777A discloses a device for enhancing gas Raman signals in a hollow-core optical fiber, which includes a hollow-core optical fiber and a capillary. The hollow-core optical fiber is axially divided into an outer-fiber and an inner-fiber. The left end of the outer-fiber is the input end, the right end of the outer-fiber is connected to the left end of the inner-fiber, and the right end of the inner-fiber is the output end. The right end of the capillary is flush with the right end of the inner-fiber, and the left end of the capillary is flush with the left end of the inner-fiber. The inner-fiber is concentrically arranged inside the capillary, and an annular cavity is formed between the fiber cladding and the reflective layer of the inner-fiber. In the system, the hollow-core optical fiber and the capillary are located between a laser and a multi-mode fiber bundle. The multi-mode fiber bundle sends the received signal to a data processing device via a spectrometer. However, its detection sensitivity is low, and the gas exchange time between the inside of the optical fiber and the external environment is long, which cannot meet the requirements of real-time online monitoring.

And an optoelectronic detector and a frequency locking system are used to lock the laser frequency at the resonance frequency of the fiber optic resonator, providing a stable laser power enhancement inside the fiber optic resonator, further improving the detection sensitivity. The present invention is based on the principle of fiber optic evanescent wave detection. The interaction between the laser and the gas occurs in the free space on the outer wall of the cladding of the fiber optic resonator unit, and the gas does not need to enter the narrow fiber core, thus saving the time for the gas to enter and exit the fiber core and having a fast response speed. The present invention uses an optical trap to collect the laser and Rayleigh scattered light output from the fiber optic resonator to maintain experimental safety. Description of the Drawings
