Description

Technical Field

[0001] This invention belongs to the field of gas concentration monitoring technology, and particularly relates to a high-precision gas detection adaptive light intensity noise suppression system and method. Background Technology

[0002] Gas concentration monitoring is crucial for oil and gas exploration, emissions regulation, and industrial safety. Therefore, a high-precision technology is urgently needed to provide excellent detection performance. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is favored for its high sensitivity and excellent specificity, making it well-suited to meet the requirements of these applications. Particularly in the mid-infrared region, methane exhibits a strong fundamental absorption band, with a significantly enhanced signal compared to the near-infrared region. Theoretically, this further strengthens its advantages, suggesting even higher performance. However, in practical applications, the inherent instability of the laser source itself remains a significant challenge, limiting the accuracy of long-term gas measurements.

[0003] Quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) have become a widely used light source in mid-infrared TDLAS systems. However, fundamental device physics issues such as temperature sensitivity, drive current noise, and material inhomogeneities can lead to spectral drift, intensity fluctuations, and beam quality degradation, resulting in severe intensity noise. This noise originates from the inherent characteristics of the laser itself, exhibiting a random and non-stationary process that cannot be fully described or predicted by deterministic models. Crucially, in TDLAS systems, this noise is multiplicatively coupled to the absorption signal. It is not simply superimposed on the signal but directly disguised as the absorption signal, completely masking the true concentration information. This inherent indistinguishability and unpredictability cause significant fluctuations and severe drift in TDLAS systems during long-term operation, fundamentally limiting their reliability in high-precision applications.

[0004] Current techniques for suppressing optical intensity noise in TDLAS systems still have significant limitations. Regarding active laser frequency control, while feedback calibration methods can alleviate wavelength drift, they are bulky and costly. Furthermore, the controller struggles to balance high gain and low noise across a wide frequency range, failing to simultaneously suppress rapid fluctuations and slow drift. Current adjustment can also induce thermal instability and optical power fluctuations, introducing additional measurement errors. While common-mode suppression methods based on parallel reference channels are widely used, their reference signals are affected not only by laser characteristics but also by mechanical disturbances from beam splitters, thermal deformation of optical components, and circuit phase drift, making them ineffective at decoupling non-common-mode noise and potentially introducing new signal distortions. In addition, calibration techniques such as harmonic ratio methods are limited by absorbance range, limiting their applicability. At the signal processing level, traditional filtering algorithms (such as Kalman filtering and wavelet denoising) rely on data stationarity or prior noise statistical assumptions, making them ill-suited for real-world non-stationary noise processes. While hybrid algorithms and emerging artificial intelligence methods have improved the ability to handle complex noise, they still have problems such as model dependence on large amounts of data, high computational complexity, and weak generalization ability, making it impossible to balance long-term stability and real-time requirements.

[0005] In summary, existing methods have shortcomings in dealing with multi-scale, non-stationary, and signal-coupled light intensity noise, which restricts further improvement of the measurement accuracy of TDLAS systems. Summary of the Invention
