Description
Technical Field
[0001] This invention relates to the field of gas detection technology, and specifically to an open long optical path gas detection method and system based on dual optical frequency comb spectroscopy. Background Technology
[0002] Dual-comb spectroscopy is a novel spectral measurement technique that has emerged in recent years alongside the development of femtosecond mode-locked laser technology. Compared to traditional spectral measurement techniques, it offers advantages such as faster measurement speed, wider spectral range, higher spectral resolution, and multi-component detection capabilities, making it a promising area for qualitative and quantitative analysis of gases in environmental and industrial processes. Similar to the widely used Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) technique, dual-comb spectroscopy systems employ two optical frequency combs with slightly different repetition frequencies as interference sources, replacing the mechanical arm of the Michelson interferometer in a Fourier spectrometer. This fully static design significantly improves the stability of the measurement system while also increasing the sampling frequency and enhancing spectral measurement efficiency. For example, Chinese Patent Publication No. CN115165781A discloses a gas parameter measurement method based on phase-locked dual-comb absorption spectroscopy, which utilizes dual-comb spectroscopy.
[0003] The frequency stability of optical comb lasers is a key factor limiting high-precision spectral measurements using dual-comb lasers. Currently, widely used dual-comb spectral systems based on radio frequency references suffer from low frequency locking accuracy and insufficient frequency stability, leading to dynamic shifts and contractions in the frequency spectrum signal. This results in low spectral coherence in continuous measurements, making it impossible to improve spectral signal quality through direct coherent averaging, thus limiting the accuracy of spectral measurements. Optical comb laser sources have high output power and are more suitable for open-space, long-path detection applications compared to existing multi-component gas detection techniques using broadband sources such as Fourier transform spectroscopy (FTIR) and differential absorption spectroscopy (DOAS). However, due to the complex energy spectrum structure of femtosecond optical comb pulses, reconstructing the background signal of dual-comb lasers in absorption spectroscopy measurements is extremely difficult, affecting the accuracy of absorption spectral feature analysis and gas concentration inversion. Furthermore, open long-path detection techniques generally face difficulties in on-site calibration. Current methods mostly utilize gas molecular spectral parameters to construct calibration spectra, which suffers from large spectral data errors leading to low gas concentration inversion accuracy and difficulties in source tracing. Summary of the Invention

Then, the beams output from the master frequency comb laser and the optical fiber coupled polarization controller are combined and split through a first optical fiber beam splitter. The first beam output from the first optical fiber beam splitter serves as a reference beam, which is split into two beams by the second optical fiber beam splitter. One beam output from the second optical fiber beam splitter is collimated by the first optical fiber collimating lens and passes through a first reference absorption cell to reach a first photodetector, forming a background reference optical path.

The detection beam is first collimated by the fourth fiber-collimating lens, then reflected by the reflector and output through the center of the Fresnel lens. After passing through the detection area, the output beam reaches the corner reflector placed at the far end of the optical path. After being reflected by the corner reflector, the detection beam returns along the original optical path. The returned beam is collected by the Fresnel lens and converged on the fiber-coupled lens.

The first beam output from the first optical fiber beam splitter serves as a reference beam, which is split into two beams by the second optical fiber beam splitter. One beam output from the second optical fiber beam splitter is collimated by the first optical fiber collimating lens and passes through a first reference absorption cell to reach a first photodetector, forming a background reference optical path. A background reference signal is obtained through photoelectric conversion. The first reference absorption cell is filled with nitrogen gas. The other beam output from the second optical fiber beam splitter is collimated by the second optical fiber collimating lens and passes through a second reference absorption cell to reach a second photodetector, forming a correction signal reference optical path. A correction reference signal is obtained through photoelectric conversion. The second reference absorption cell is filled with a gas sample containing a target detection gas component. The second beam output from the first fiber beam splitter is used as the detection beam and transmitted through a single-mode fiber to the fiber-coupled transceiver optical end. A corner reflector is provided on the output optical path of the fiber-coupled transceiver optical end. The beam output from the fiber-coupled transceiver optical end is reflected back by the corner reflector. The beam collected by the fiber-coupled transceiver optical end and reflected back from the corner reflector returns through a multimode fiber. The returned beam is collimated by a third fiber collimating lens and then passes through a calibration absorption cell to reach a third photodetector, forming a calibration optical path. The detection signal is obtained through photoelectric conversion. The background reference signal, the correction reference signal, and the detection signal are transmitted to the host computer, and the host computer executes the method described in any one of claims 1-8.
10. The open long-path gas detection system based on dual-frequency comb spectroscopy according to claim 9, characterized in that, The fiber-coupled transceiver optical terminal has a built-in fiber-coupled lens, a reflector, a Fresnel lens, and a fourth fiber-coupled collimating lens. The detection beam is first collimated by the fourth fiber-coupled collimating lens, then reflected by the reflector and output through the center of the Fresnel lens. After passing through the detection area, the output beam reaches the corner reflector placed at the far end of the optical path. After being reflected by the corner reflector, the detection beam returns along the original optical path. The returned beam is collected by the Fresnel lens and converged on the fiber-coupled lens. The fiber-coupled lens couples the returned beam into the multimode fiber and transmits it back to the third fiber-coupled collimating lens.
