[0109] Embodiment 1

[0110] An embodiment of this application provides an optical multi-pass cell system, comprising:

[0111] An optical multi-pass cell, including an input end and an output end; and

[0112] A driving mechanism for driving M sub-mirrors of the optical multi-pass cell to move periodically back and forth along the Z-axis direction during each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data, where the Z-axis direction is parallel to the optical axis of the optical multi-pass cell;

[0113] Wherein, M≥1, and the detection process is: when the optical multi-pass cell is filled with the gas to be detected, the detection beam is input from the input end, and after multiple reflections in the optical multi-pass cell, an interference beam is output from the output end. During the entire detection process, the wavelength of the detection beam varies within a preset wavelength range, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant or varies within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data acquisition process.

[0114] In application, the structure of the optical multi-pass cell can be set according to actual needs, and the number of sub-mirrors of the optical multi-pass cell is greater than or equal to M. The driving mechanism can be implemented based on a piezoelectric ceramic type or electromagnetic type driver. During the detection process, the wavelength of the detection beam varies within a preset wavelength range, and the wavelength of the detection beam is controlled to remain constant or vary within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data acquisition process, so that during each data acquisition process, according to the actual light intensity of the interference beam corresponding to the detection beam at each wavelength output from the output end, signal processing can be performed to obtain the spectral transmittance function. The preset wavelength range and the preset wavelength modulation range can both be set according to actual needs. For example, the preset wavelength range is 0.2um to 12um from ultraviolet light wavelength to mid-infrared light wavelength, and the wavelength of the detection beam after modulation within the preset wavelength modulation range is still within the preset wavelength range.

[0115] In the optical multipass cell system provided by the embodiments of the present application, during each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data, the driving mechanism drives the M sub-reflectors to move periodically back and forth along the Z-axis direction, which can change the distance between the optical center of the sub-reflector and the main reflector opposite thereto, thereby changing the single-pass optical path when the detection beam is reflected between the M sub-reflectors and the main reflector opposite thereto. As a result, interference beams at different positions of the M sub-reflectors can be obtained at the output end. Based on these interference beams, gas absorption data with smoothed optical noise can be obtained, thereby improving the sensitivity when detecting gas absorption data based on the optical multipass cell system.

[0116] As Figure 1 shown, in one embodiment, a first optical multipass cell system is provided, including an optical multipass cell 11 and a driving mechanism 12. The optical multipass cell 11 includes:

[0117] An input end 101 for inputting a detection beam;

[0118] An output end 102 for outputting an interference beam;

[0119] A main concave mirror 103; and

[0120] A first sub-reflector 104 and a second sub-reflector 105. Both the first sub-reflector 104 and the second sub-reflector 105 are concave mirrors. The reflecting surface of the main concave mirror 103 is opposite to and spaced from the reflecting surfaces of the first sub-reflector 104 and the second sub-reflector 105 to form a reflection cavity. The optical axis 106 of the reflection cavity is perpendicular to the focal plane of the main concave mirror 103;

[0121] Among them, both the input end 101 and the output end 102 are provided on the main concave mirror 103;

[0122] The driving mechanism 12 is used to drive the first sub-reflector 104 to move periodically back and forth along the Z-axis direction during each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data. The Z-axis direction is parallel to the optical axis 106;

[0123] The detection process is as follows: When the reflection cavity of the optical multipass cell 11 is filled with the gas to be detected, the detection beam is input from the input end 101, forms an interference beam after multiple reflections in the optical multipass cell 11, and is output from the output end 102. During the entire detection process, the wavelength of the detection beam changes within a preset wavelength range, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant or changes within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data acquisition process.

[0124] In application, the output end 102 can be provided on the main concave mirror 103, the first sub-reflector 104, or the second sub-reflector 105. Figure 1Exemplarily, it is shown that the output end 102 is disposed on the main concave mirror 103. The sizes of the first sub-mirror 104 and the second sub-mirror 105 may be the same or different, and can be set according to actual needs. The driving mechanism 12 can be used to drive the first sub-mirror 104 or the second sub-mirror 105 to move independently, or can be used to drive the first sub-mirror 104 and the second sub-mirror 105 to move simultaneously. When the driving mechanism 12 drives the first sub-mirror 104 and the second sub-mirror 105 simultaneously, the driving mechanism 12 may include two drivers for driving the first sub-mirror 104 and the second sub-mirror 105 to move respectively.

[0125] Figure 1 Exemplarily, it is shown that the output end 102 is disposed on the main concave mirror 103, and the driving mechanism 12 is used to drive the first sub-mirror 104 to move independently.

[0126] In an embodiment of the present application, by providing an optical multipass cell including a main concave mirror and two sub-mirrors, in each data acquisition process of the gas absorption data detection process, based on the driving mechanism driving at least one of the two sub-mirrors of the optical multipass cell to periodically move back and forth along the Z-axis direction parallel to the optical axis of the optical multipass cell, it is possible to obtain interference beams at different positions of the M sub-mirrors at the output end without significantly increasing the volume of the optical multipass cell system. Based on these interference beams, gas absorption data with smoothed optical noise can be obtained, thereby improving the sensitivity when detecting gas absorption data based on the optical multipass cell system.

[0127] Such as Figure 2 、 Figure 3 、 Figure 4 Or Figure 5 As shown, in one embodiment, a second optical multipass cell system is provided, including an optical multipass cell 21 and a driving mechanism 22. The optical multipass cell 21 includes:

[0128] An input end 201 for inputting a detection beam;

[0130] A main concave mirror 203;

[0131] A main plane mirror 204, the reflecting surface of the main concave mirror 203 and the reflecting surface of the main plane mirror 204 are opposite and spaced apart to form a reflection cavity, and the optical axis 206 of the reflection cavity is perpendicular to the focal plane 205 of the main concave mirror 203; and

[0132] N sub-mirrors, the N sub-mirrors are disposed on the main plane mirror 204, and the reflecting surfaces of the N sub-mirrors face the main concave mirror 203;

[0133] Wherein, N≥M, the input end 201 and the output end 202 are arranged on the main planar mirror 204;

[0134] The driving mechanism 200 is used to drive at least one sub-mirror to move periodically back and forth along the Z-axis direction during each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data, and the Z-axis direction is parallel to the optical axis 206;

[0135] The detection process is as follows: when the reflection cavity of the optical multipass cell 200 is filled with the gas to be detected, the detection beam is input from the input end 201, and after multiple reflections in the optical multipass cell 200, an interference beam is output from the output end 202. During the entire detection process, the wavelength of the detection beam changes within a preset wavelength range, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant or changes within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data acquisition process.

[0136] In applications, the number of N and the type of the reflecting surface can be set according to actual needs. For example, 1, 2, 3, 4. The input end 201 can be arranged on the main concave mirror 203 or the main planar mirror 204, and the output end 202 can be arranged on the main concave mirror 203, the main planar mirror 204 or any sub-mirror. Figure 2 , Figure 3 , Figure 4 and Figure 5 exemplarily shows that both the input end 201 and the output end 202 are arranged on the main planar mirror 204. The driving mechanism 22 can be used to drive any sub-mirror to move alone, or can be used to drive multiple sub-mirrors to move simultaneously. When the driving mechanism 22 drives multiple sub-mirrors simultaneously, the driving mechanism 22 can include multiple drivers for driving each sub-mirror to move respectively.

[0137] Figure 2 exemplarily shows that N = 1, that is, the optical multipass cell 21 includes a first sub-mirror 207. The first sub-mirror 207 is a planar mirror with an area smaller than that of the main planar mirror 204. The inclination angle between the normal of the first sub-mirror 207 and the normal of the main planar mirror 204 is θ1 and the inclination angle θ1 is not zero. The driving mechanism 22 is used to drive the first sub-mirror 207 to move.

[0138] Figure 3Exemplarily, N = 2 is shown, that is, the optical multipass cell 21 includes a first sub - mirror 207 and a second sub - mirror 208. Both the first sub - mirror 207 and the second sub - mirror 208 are plane mirrors with an area smaller than that of the main - plane mirror 204. The inclination angle between the normal of the first sub - mirror 207 and the normal of the main - plane mirror 204 is θ1 and the inclination angle θ1 is non - zero. The normal of the second sub - mirror 208 is parallel to the normal of the main - plane mirror 204. The second sub - mirror 208 and the first sub - mirror 207 are symmetric about the origin 209 and are separated. The origin 209 is the intersection point of the optical axis 206 on the focal plane 205. The driving mechanism 22 is used to drive the second sub - mirror 208 to move.

[0139] Figure 4 Exemplarily, N = 2 is shown, that is, the optical multipass cell 21 includes a first sub - mirror 207 and a second sub - mirror 208. Both the first sub - mirror 207 and the second sub - mirror 208 are plane mirrors with an area smaller than that of the main - plane mirror 204. The inclination angle between the normal of the first sub - mirror 207 and the normal of the main - plane mirror 204 is θ1 and the inclination angle θ1 is non - zero. The normal of the second sub - mirror 208 is parallel to the normal of the main - plane mirror 204. The second sub - mirror 208 and the first sub - mirror 207 are symmetric about the origin 209 and are adjacent. The origin 209 is the intersection point of the optical axis 206 on the focal plane 205. The driving mechanism 22 is used to drive the first sub - mirror 207 and the second sub - mirror 208 to move simultaneously.

[0140] Figure 5 Exemplarily, N = 2 is shown, that is, the optical multipass cell 21 includes a first sub - mirror 207 and a second sub - mirror 208. Both the first sub - mirror 207 and the second sub - mirror 208 are plane mirrors with an area smaller than that of the main - plane mirror 204. The inclination angle between the normal of the first sub - mirror 207 and the normal of the main - plane mirror 204 is θ1 and the inclination angle θ1 is non - zero. The inclination angle between the normal of the second sub - mirror 208 and the normal of the main - plane mirror 204 is θ2 and the inclination angle θ2 is non - zero. The second sub - mirror 208 and the first sub - mirror 207 are symmetric about the origin 209 and are adjacent. The origin 209 is the intersection point of the optical axis 206 on the focal plane 205. The driving mechanism 22 is used to drive the first sub - mirror 207 and the second sub - mirror 208 to move simultaneously.

[0141] In applications, the inclination angle θ1 and the inclination angle θ2 can be equal or unequal. Figure 5 The shown first sub - mirror 207 and second sub - mirror 208 can be replaced by a roof prism. Compared with driving two independent sub - mirrors simultaneously, during the process of the driving mechanism 22 driving the roof prism to move, the stability is higher.

[0142] In an embodiment of the present application, an optical multipass cell including a main concave mirror, a main plane mirror, and N sub - mirrors is provided. During each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data, based on the driving mechanism, M of the N sub - mirrors of the optical multipass cell are driven to move periodically back and forth along the Z - axis direction parallel to the optical axis of the optical multipass cell. Without significantly increasing the volume of the optical multipass cell system, interference beams at different positions of the M sub - mirrors can be obtained at the output end. Based on these interference beams, gas absorption data with smoothed optical noise can be obtained, thereby improving the sensitivity when detecting gas absorption data based on the optical multipass cell system.

[0143] As Figure 6 shown, in one embodiment, a third optical multipass cell system is provided, including an optical multipass cell 31 and a driving mechanism 32. The optical multipass cell 31 includes:

[0144] An input end 301 for inputting a detection beam;

[0145] An output end 302 for outputting an interference beam;

[0146] A main concave mirror 303 with a focal length of f, a radius of curvature of R, and having aberration;

[0147] A main plane mirror 304, the distance from the reflecting surface of the main plane mirror 304 to the optical center of the main concave mirror 303 is L1=(1 + x1)f, - 1 < x1 < 1; and

[0148] A sub - mirror 305, the sub - mirror 305 is a concave mirror with a focal length of f0, a radius of curvature of R0, and is disposed on the main plane mirror 304. The area of the positive projection of the reflecting surface of the sub - mirror 305 on the reflecting surface of the main plane mirror 304 is smaller than the area of the reflecting surface of the main plane mirror 304. The distance from the optical center of the sub - mirror 305 to the optical center of the main concave mirror 303 is L2=(1 + x2)f, R0 = mR, - 1 < x2 < 1, x1 and x2 are not both 0, m > 0;

[0149] Among them, both the input end 301 and the output end 302 are disposed on the main concave mirror 303. The reflecting surface of the main concave mirror 303 is opposite to and spaced from the reflecting surfaces of the main plane mirror 304 and the sub - mirror 305 to form a reflection cavity. The optical axis 306 of the reflection cavity is perpendicular to the reflecting surface of the main plane mirror 304 and passes through the optical center and the focus of the main concave mirror 303;

[0150] The driving mechanism 12 is used to drive the sub - mirror 305 to move periodically back and forth along the Z - axis direction during each data acquisition process in the detection process of gas absorption data, and the Z - axis direction is parallel to the optical axis 306;

[0151] The detection process is as follows: when the reflection cavity of the optical multi-pass cell 31 is filled with the gas to be detected, the detection light beam is input from the input end 301, and after multiple reflections in the optical multi-pass cell 31, an interference light beam is formed and output from the output end 302. During the entire detection process, the wavelength of the detection light beam varies within a preset wavelength range, and during each data acquisition process, the wavelength of the detection light beam is constant or varies within a preset wavelength modulation range.

[0152] In application, the input end 301 can be arranged at the main concave reflector 303 or the main plane reflector 304, and the output end 302 can be arranged at the main concave reflector 303, the main plane reflector 304 or the sub-reflector 305. Figure 6 It is exemplarily shown in FIG. 3 that both the input end 301 and the output end 302 are arranged on the main concave reflecting mirror 303 .

[0153] The embodiment of the present application provides an optical multi-pass cell including a main concave reflector, a main plane reflector and a sub-reflector. During each data collection process of the detection process of gas absorption data, a driving mechanism drives the sub-reflector to periodically reciprocate along the Z-axis direction parallel to the optical axis of the optical multi-pass cell. Interference light beams of M sub-reflectors at different positions can be obtained at the output end without significantly increasing the volume of the optical multi-pass cell system. Based on these interference light beams, gas absorption data with smoothed optical noise can be obtained, thereby improving the sensitivity of detecting gas absorption data based on the optical multi-pass cell system.

[0154] In applications, the input end can be a fiber collimator with pigtails, a fiber collimator array, a light hole or an open angle on the main reflector, or a light-emitting device directly connected to the optical fiber; the output end can be a fiber collimator with pigtails, a fiber collimator array, a light hole or an open angle on the main reflector or sub-reflector, or a light detector directly connected to the optical fiber. The form of the light hole and the open angle is suitable for inputting incoherent detection beams with large divergence angles; for coherent detection beams with small divergence angles, such as lasers, a fiber collimator with pigtails is selected as the light input end, and a fiber collimator with pigtails is selected as the output end accordingly, or a light detector can be selected to directly receive the beam.

[0155] In applications, the input end and the output end may overlap to form an input-output end, and the input-output end is arranged on the main reflector or the sub-reflector;

[0156] Alternatively, the input end and the output end are separately arranged and both are arranged on the main reflector or the sub-reflector;

[0157] Alternatively, the input end and the output end are separately arranged, the input end is arranged on the main reflector, and the output end is arranged on the sub-reflector or the output end is the sub-reflector;

[0158] Alternatively, the input end and the output end are separately arranged, the input end is arranged on the sub-mirror, and the output end is arranged on the main mirror or the output end is the main mirror.

[0159] In applications, the positions of the input end and the output end can coincide or be separated. When the positions of the input end and the output end coincide, the two are the same and defined as the input-output end, and the input-output end can be arranged on the main mirror or any sub-mirror. When the positions of the input end and the output end are separated, the two can be arranged on the same mirror or on different mirrors. When the output end is the main mirror or the sub-mirror itself, the output end includes all the reflection areas of the main mirror or the sub-mirror.

[0160] In applications, the driving mechanism can include a motor and a driver. The motor is used for mechanical connection with the sub-mirror to be driven, and the driver is used for electrical connection with the motor to drive the motor to move. The driver can be a piezoelectric ceramic driver, a micro-motor system driver, a magnetostrictive driver or a voice coil motor driver.

[0161] In one embodiment, the Z-axis direction includes a positive Z-axis direction and a negative Z-axis direction that are parallel and opposite;

[0162] The position change value when the sub-mirror moves in the positive Z-axis direction is positive;

[0163] The position change value when the sub-mirror moves in the negative Z-axis direction is negative;

[0164] When M sub-mirrors move periodically back and forth in the Z-axis direction,

[0165] wherein, δ represents the sum of the position change values of M sub-mirrors in the Z-axis direction, λ represents the wavelength of the detection beam, λ is a variable that varies within a preset wavelength range during the entire detection process, and λ remains constant or varies within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data acquisition process.

[0166] In applications, the range of the sum of the position change values of all the sub-mirrors driven by the driving mechanism in the Z-axis direction is 0.25 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection beam, which can be set according to actual needs.

[0167] Embodiment 2

[0168] An embodiment of the present application provides a gas absorption data detection method, which is implemented based on any one of the optical multipass cell systems in Embodiment 1. The gas absorption data detection method can be executed by a processor of a terminal device when running a computer program with corresponding functions. During each data acquisition process in the detection process, the driving mechanism is controlled to drive M sub-mirrors of the optical multipass cell to move periodically back and forth along the Z-axis direction, and interference beams at different positions of the M sub-mirrors are obtained at the output end. Based on the actual light intensities of these interference beams, the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected is obtained. Thus, the gas absorption data of the gas to be detected with smoothed optical noise can be obtained according to the spectral transmittance function. By using a micro-motion optical component (i.e., the driving mechanism and the sub-mirrors it drives), the sensitivity of the terminal device can be effectively increased by more than about 10 times.

[0169] In applications, optical noise refers to the fact that in the absence of the gas to be detected, the light intensity received at the output end of the optical multipass cell has a certain jitter with the change of the wavelength of the detection beam. It is manifested as the change of light intensity with wavelength and is called optical noise. Since the absorption spectroscopy technique infers the concentration of the gas to be detected by scanning the change in the intensity of the detection beam passing through the optical multipass cell with the gas to be detected, during the wavelength scanning of the detection beam, due to the existence of optical noise, the output light intensity also changes, manifested as false absorption peaks. The optical noise level determines the lower limit of the gas concentration that the terminal device can detect. By reducing the optical noise, the lower limit of the gas concentration that the terminal device can detect can be reduced, thereby improving the sensitivity of the terminal device.

[0170] In applications, the terminal device may include a memory, a processor, and a computer program stored in the memory and executable on the processor. When the processor executes the computer program, the steps of the gas absorption data detection method are implemented; among them, the processor may include a driving mechanism control unit and a signal processing unit, and may also include a laser driving unit; the driving mechanism control unit is used to be electrically connected to the driving mechanism to control the operation of the driving mechanism; the signal processing unit is used to be electrically connected to an optical detection device (for example, a photodetector or a spectrometer) to obtain the light intensity signal or spectral signal detected by the optical detection device, and perform signal processing to obtain data such as the spectral transmittance function and gas absorption data (for example, concentration) of the gas to be detected.

[0171] In applications, at least two of the drive mechanism control unit, the signal processing unit, and the laser drive unit may be integrated into one processing unit, or each unit may exist physically separately. Additionally, the specific names of the laser drive unit and the signal processing unit are only for the convenience of distinguishing each other and do not limit the protection scope of the present invention. The terminal device may also be integrated with at least one of the optical multipass cell system, the laser, and the optical detection device into one device (e.g., a gas detector), and can be set according to the positions of the input end and the output end of the optical multipass cell system in combination with actual needs.

[0172] In applications, the memory may be an internal storage unit of the terminal device in some embodiments, e.g., a hard disk or a memory, specifically, the memory of the processor. The memory may also be an external storage device of the terminal device in other embodiments, e.g., a plug-in hard disk, a Smart Media Card (SMC), a Secure Digital (SD) card, a Flash Card, etc. Further, the memory may also include both the internal storage unit and the external storage device of the terminal device. The memory is used to store the operating system, application programs, a Boot Loader, data, and other programs, e.g., the program code of a computer program. The memory may also be used to temporarily store the data that has been output or will be output.

[0173] In applications, the laser drive unit and the signal processing unit may be a Central Processing Unit (CPU), or may also be other general-purpose processors, Digital Signal Processors (DSPs), Application Specific Integrated Circuits (ASICs), Field-Programmable Gate Arrays (FPGAs), or other programmable logic devices, discrete gate or transistor logic devices, discrete hardware components, etc. The general-purpose processor may be a microprocessor or any conventional processor, etc.

[0174] In applications, the laser can be any type of tunable laser, for example, a tunable semiconductor laser such as a Fabry-Perot laser, a distributed feedback semiconductor laser, a distributed Bragg reflector laser, a vertical-cavity surface-emitting laser, and an external cavity tuned semiconductor laser.

[0175] like Figure 7 As shown, the gas absorption data detection method provided in the embodiment of the present application includes the following steps S1 to S4:

[0176] Step S1, in each data collection process of the detection process, controlling the driving mechanism to drive the M sub-reflecting mirrors of the optical multi-pass cell to periodically move back and forth along the Z-axis direction;

[0177] Step S2, obtaining the actual light intensity of the interference light beam output from the output end;

[0178] Step S3, obtaining the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected according to the actual light intensity;

[0179] Step S4: Obtain noise-smoothed gas absorption data of the gas to be detected according to the spectral transmittance function.

[0180] In the application, step S1 is executed by the driving mechanism control unit; steps S2 to S4 are executed by the signal processing unit, which obtains the actual light intensity of the interference light beam output from the output end based on the light detector, and then performs signal processing to obtain the spectral transmittance function and gas absorption data of the gas to be detected.

[0181] In one embodiment, during the execution of step S1, the laser driving unit controls the laser to output a detection beam to the input end, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant or varies within a preset wavelength modulation range.

[0182] In one embodiment, the gas absorption data detection method is implemented based on the maximum and minimum value method of the direct absorption method, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant during each data collection process;

[0183] Step S1 includes: in each data collection process of the detection process, controlling the driving mechanism to drive the M sub-reflectors of the optical multi-pass cell to periodically move back and forth along the Z-axis direction, so that the sum of the position change values ​​of the M sub-reflectors in the Z-axis direction is within the range of 0.5 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection beam, that is,

[0184]

[0185] Step S2 comprises: obtaining the actual light intensity of the interference light beam output from the output end during the process of the M sub-reflecting mirrors periodically moving back and forth along the Z-axis direction for one or more cycles;

[0186] Step S3 includes: obtaining the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected according to the maximum value and the minimum value of all actual light intensities obtained in each data collection process.

[0187] In the application, based on the maximum and minimum value method of the direct absorption method, in step S1, the expressions of the maximum and minimum values ​​of all actual light intensities are as follows:

[0188]

[0189] Among them, S(λ) represents the spectral transmittance function, Out(λ,δ) represents the actual light intensity, max(Out(λ,δ)) represents the maximum value of all actual light intensities, min(Out(λ,δ)) represents the minimum value of all actual light intensities, I(λ,δ) represents the theoretical light intensity of the interference beam, max(I(λ,δ)) represents the maximum value of all theoretical light intensities, min(I(λ,δ)) represents the minimum value of all theoretical light intensities, ε represents the amplitude of the interference beam and is a small quantity, and L represents the optical path difference between the interference beam and the detection beam.

[0190] In application, by solving formula 1 and formula 2 simultaneously, (1+2ε) and (1-2ε) can be calibrated and eliminated, and the expression of the spectral transmittance function is obtained as follows:

[0191]

[0192] In the application, the gas absorption data detection method is realized by the maximum and minimum method based on the direct absorption method, the wavelength of the detection light beam is set to a constant wavelength during each data collection process, and when the M sub-reflectors are periodically moved back and forth along the Z-axis direction, the sum of the position change values ​​in the Z-axis direction is limited to 0.5 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection light beam. The sum of the position change values ​​is not required to be an integer multiple of 0.5 times the wavelength of the detection light beam. The control accuracy requirement for the driving mechanism is low. The spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected is directly obtained according to the maximum and minimum values ​​of all actual light intensities obtained during each data collection process. The algorithm is simple and the calculation amount is small, which can effectively improve the detection efficiency.

[0193] In one embodiment, the gas absorption data detection method is implemented based on the average value method of the direct absorption method, and the wavelength of the detection beam is constant during each data collection process;

[0194] Step S1 includes: during each data collection process of the detection process, controlling the driving mechanism to drive the M sub-reflectors of the optical multi-pass cell to periodically move back and forth along the Z-axis direction, so that the sum of the position change values ​​of the M sub-reflectors in the Z-axis direction changes to N different positions within the range of 0.25 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection beam, that is, δ μ =(μ-1)δ0, μ=1,2,3,…,N,δ0>0 and δ0 is a constant, N≥2;δ μ represents the sum of the μth position change value among the sum of N different position change values, δ N Indicates the maximum value among the sum of N different position change values;

[0195] Step S2 comprises: obtaining the actual light intensity of the interference light beam output from the output end during the process of the M sub-reflecting mirrors periodically moving back and forth along the Z-axis direction for one or more cycles;

[0196] Step S3 includes: obtaining the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected according to the average value of the actual light intensity at the sum of the change values ​​at N different positions obtained in each data collection process.

[0197] In the application, based on the average value method of the direct absorption method, in step S1, the average value of the actual light intensity at the sum of the change values ​​at N different positions is expressed as follows:

[0198]

[0199] Substituting formula 4 into formula 3, we get:

[0200]

[0201] Mathematically, it can be proved that when the maximum value δ in the sum of the change values ​​of N different positions is N , the number of position samples N and the sum of the μth position change value δ among the sum of N different position change values μ , when the following formulas 6 to 8 are satisfied, the sum of the cosine function in formula 5 is zero, and the 1 in the expression is accumulated N times, and the sum is N, and formula 9 can be obtained:

[0202]

[0203] N = mk (Formula 7)

[0204]

[0205] ave(Out(λ,δ))=S(λ)·1=S(λ)(Formula 9)

[0206] From formula 5 and formula 9, the expression of the spectral transmittance function can be obtained as follows:

[0207]

[0208] Among them, Out(λ,δ μ ) represents the actual light intensity at the sum of the change values ​​of the μth position, ave(Out(λ,δ)) represents the average value of the actual light intensity at the sum of the change values ​​of N different positions, I(λ,δ μ ) indicates that the sum of the position changes of the M sub-reflectors in the Z-axis direction is δ μ The theoretical intensity of the interfering beam.

[0209] The embodiment of the present application implements a gas absorption data detection method through an average value method based on a direct absorption method, sets the wavelength of the detection light beam to a constant wavelength during each data acquisition process, and sets the sum of N position change values ​​in the Z-axis direction to a linear change when M sub-reflectors are periodically moved back and forth along the Z-axis direction, and are all within the range of 0.25 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection light beam. Then, the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected is obtained based on the average value of the actual light intensity at the sum of N different position change values ​​obtained during each data acquisition process, which can effectively improve the accuracy of detection efficiency.

[0210] In one embodiment, the gas absorption data detection method is implemented based on the average value method of the harmonic method, and the wavelength of the detection beam changes within a preset wavelength modulation range during each data collection process;

[0211] Step S1 includes: during each data collection process of the detection process, controlling the driving mechanism to drive the M sub-reflectors of the optical multi-pass cell to periodically move back and forth along the Z-axis direction, so that the sum of the position change values ​​of the M sub-reflectors in the Z-axis direction changes to N different positions within the range of 0.25 to 10 times the wavelength of the detection beam, that is, δ μ =(μ-1)δ0, μ=1,2,3,…,N,δ0>0 and δ0 is a constant, N≥2;δ μ represents the sum of the μth position change value among the sum of the N different position change values, δ N represents the maximum value among the sums of the N different position change values;

[0212] Step S2 comprises: obtaining the actual light intensity of the interference light beam output from the output end during the process of the M sub-reflecting mirrors periodically moving back and forth along the Z-axis direction for one or more cycles;

[0213] Step S3 includes:

[0214] According to the actual light intensity at the sum of the N different position change values ​​obtained in each data collection process, the harmonic spectrum function at the sum of the corresponding N different position change values ​​is obtained;

[0215] According to the average value of the harmonic spectrum function at the sum of the change values ​​at N different positions, the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected is obtained, that is, the average value of the harmonic spectrum function at the sum of the change values ​​at N different positions is subjected to inverse Fourier transform to obtain the spectral transmittance function of the gas to be detected.

[0216] In the application, based on the average value method of the harmonic method, in step S3, the expression of the average value of the harmonic spectrum function at the sum of the change values ​​at N different positions is as follows:

[0217]

[0218] By exchanging the summation sign and the integral sign in formula 10, we can obtain:

[0219]

[0220] By analyzing the summation part in formula 11, we know that the wavelength modulation width αφ is much smaller than the wavelength λ, so:

[0221]

[0222] Mathematically, it can be proved that when the maximum value δ in the sum of the change values ​​of N different positions is N , the number of position samples N and the sum of the μth position change value δ among the sum of N different position change values μ , when the following formulas 13 to 15 are satisfied, the sum of the cosine function in formula 12 is zero, and the 1 in the expression is accumulated N times, and the sum is N, and formula 16 can be obtained:

[0223]

[0224] N = mk (Formula 14)

[0225]

[0233] The embodiment of the present application implements a gas absorption data detection method through an average value method based on the harmonic method, and sets the wavelength of the detection light beam in each data collection process to change within a preset wavelength modulation range.
