Description

Technical Field

[0001] The present invention relates to the field of gas analysis, and more specifically, to a method and system for multi-scale filtering of background silicon noise in fiber-enhanced Raman spectroscopy. Background Art

[0002] Raman spectroscopy is an analytical technique based on the Raman scattering effect. It can provide information about the vibration and rotation of molecules and is used for qualitative and quantitative analysis of substances. In gas detection, Raman spectroscopy can be used to identify gas components and measure their concentrations.

[0003] Hollow core fiber (HCF) is a special optical fiber structure with a hollow core, allowing light to transmit through air or other gases. This structure is particularly useful in gas detection because the interaction length between light and gas is increased, thereby improving detection sensitivity.

[0004] However, hollow-core fibers are made of silicon-based materials (such as silica). When excitation light propagates through the fiber, the silicon generates a Raman scattering signal, known as background silicon noise. This interferes with the Raman signal of the target gas, reducing the signal-to-noise ratio and sensitivity of detection. Therefore, filtering out background silicon noise is a core challenge in improving Raman spectroscopy performance.

[0005] Spatial filtering technology is currently widely used, but traditional spatial filters have complex structures (typically consisting of a focusing lens, pinhole, and collimating lens). They require extremely high adjustment precision, and micron-level deviations can cause mode coupling failure. Furthermore, they cannot completely eliminate stray light caused by higher-order modes or defects. The invention patent (202311208192.0) combines an adjustable aperture with a Raman signal imaging device to filter out background silicon noise, but this method loses some of the Raman signal of the target gas (irregular shape) while still retaining fluorescence interference along the longitudinal axis.

[0006] In summary, existing methods for filtering background silicon noise have limitations in terms of system complexity, flexibility, and filtering effectiveness. Therefore, a practical approach is urgently needed to advance the practical application of hollow-core fiber Raman gas detection. Summary of the Invention

When it decreases for the first time, stop increasing the aperture of aperture 1. At the same time, record the aperture D corresponding to the maximum signal-to-noise ratio. max2 , which is the optimal aperture D of the aperture 1 opt .

[0048] Furthermore, the optimal parameter selection process for the width of slit 3 is as follows:

[0049] The clear aperture of fixed aperture 1 is D opt The middle row of CCD7's photosensitive pixels was selected and the integration time was 60s. The other experimental conditions remained unchanged. The width of slit 3 was set to the base value Wbase1 = (W-15μm). The Raman spectrum of the laboratory ambient air was acquired every 5μm, and the N2 Raman characteristic peak (2327cm) under this condition was calculated. -1 ) of the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR). Wherein, the signal intensity is defined as the peak height I of the N2 Raman characteristic peak h , the noise is defined as the spectral baseline between 1800 and 1900 cm -1 The standard deviation σ, and SNR=I h / σ. W is calculated as follows:
