Abstract
Description
Technical Field
[0001] This utility model relates to the field of gas detection technology, specifically to an integrating cavity greenhouse gas detection device for environmental noise suppression. Background Technology
[0002] Off-axis optical resonator output spectroscopy is a highly sensitive gas detection technique suitable for detecting trace gases in the atmosphere. Because the beam does not need to be strictly coaxial with the optical axis within the resonator, it offers advantages such as simple structure, system stability, and high integrability, making it a hot research topic in the field of atmospheric trace gas detection in recent years. However, when the laser beam is incident off-axis into the cavity, random fluctuations in the laser phase occur, generating cavity mode noise. Even with fully off-axis conditions, some residual cavity modes remain unsuppressed. Therefore, mode noise is a major factor affecting the measurement accuracy of the OA-ICOS system.
[0003] Off-axis optical resonator output spectroscopy obtains enhanced absorption signals by incidenting a beam off-axis into a high-precision cavity. However, residual cavity modes have always been a major noise source limiting sensitivity, posing certain challenges to the development of high-precision, high-sensitivity optical resonator spectroscopy measurement instruments. Utility Model Content
[0004] This invention provides an integrating cavity greenhouse gas detection device for environmental noise suppression, aiming to solve the key technical problems mentioned in the background art of how to fully off-axis the off-axis optical resonator and effectively suppress residual cavity mode noise.
[0005] To achieve the above objectives, this utility model provides the following technical solution: an integrating cavity greenhouse gas detection device for environmental noise suppression, comprising a laser emitting component, an adjustable optical path input component disposed at the output end of the laser emitting component, an optical resonant cavity disposed at the output end of the adjustable optical path input component, and an information acquisition and processing component disposed at the output end of the optical resonant cavity; the laser emitting component comprises a laser, a laser controller connected to the signal input end of the laser, an RF noise source device for injecting RF white noise into the laser, an optical isolator connected to the output end of the laser, an optical fiber connected to the output end of the optical isolator, and an optical fiber collimator fixedly installed at the end of the optical fiber; the optical resonant cavity comprises a cavity body, a front high-reflection mirror fixedly installed at the front end of the cavity body, and a rear high-reflection mirror fixedly installed at the rear end of the cavity body, wherein both the front and rear high-reflection mirrors are flat. The system includes a concave high-reflectivity mirror; the adjustable input component includes a first reflecting mirror disposed on the output path of the fiber optic collimator, a second reflecting mirror disposed on the reflected optical path of the first reflecting mirror, a Dowell prism disposed on the reflected optical paths of the first and second reflecting mirrors, an off-axis parabolic mirror disposed on the refracted optical path of the Dowell prism, a piezoelectric ceramic fixedly mounted on the back of the off-axis parabolic mirror, and a hollow roof prism reflecting mirror disposed on the reflected optical path of the front high-reflectivity mirror; the information acquisition and processing component includes a focusing lens, a photodetector disposed at the focal point of the focusing lens, and a terminal, the terminal being connected to the input end of the laser controller, the focusing lens being used to focus the transmitted signal output from the optical resonant cavity; the photodetector being used to convert the focused transmitted signal into an electrical signal and output it to the terminal, the terminal being used to acquire and process the electrical signal output by the photodetector and output a digital signal.
[0006] During gas measurement, the laser's operating temperature and current are adjusted by the laser controller. Radio frequency white noise is injected into the laser through a radio frequency noise source device, effectively suppressing residual cavity mode noise in the integrating cavity. The laser outputs unidirectional light through an optical isolator, which blocks back-propagating light, thus reducing background light interference. The laser then travels through an optical fiber collimator to the first reflecting mirror, which reflects the laser to the second reflecting mirror and the Dowell prism. The laser refracted and reflected by the Dowell prism is directly reflected onto the concave surface of the off-axis parabolic mirror. A portion of the laser is reflected by the first reflecting mirror to the second reflecting mirror, which then reflects it directly onto the concave surface of the off-axis parabolic mirror. The off-axis parabolic mirror then simultaneously reflects the laser from all paths to the plane of the front high-reflection mirror. The plane of the front high-reflection mirror reflects the reflected laser... The light is directed to the hollow roof prism reflector, where it is reversed 180 degrees and reflected again to the plane of the front high-reflection mirror. This achieves the goal of injecting the reflected light into the optical resonant cavity at a sufficiently off-axis angle, greatly improving the utilization rate of the laser. Piezoelectric ceramics are used to adjust the reflection angle of the off-axis parabolic mirror, which reflects back and forth between the front and rear high-reflection mirrors multiple times. Each time, a portion of the light is transmitted out. The transmitted light from each reflection is then converged and superimposed, finally outputting a strong beam with the same propagation direction, frequency, and phase. The focusing lens is used to focus the transmitted signal output from the optical resonant cavity. The photodetector is used to convert the focused transmitted signal into an electrical signal and output it to the terminal. The terminal is used to collect and process the electrical signal output from the photodetector and output a digital signal.
[0007] Preferably, the optical resonant cavity further includes an air inlet and an air outlet disposed on one side surface of the cavity, the air inlet being connected to an air pump, and the air outlet being connected to a mass flow controller.
[0008] Preferably, the hollow roof prism reflector includes two symmetrically arranged right-angle prism reflectors, and the reflective slopes of the two right-angle prism reflectors are coated with a high-reflectivity dielectric film.
[0009] Preferably, the adjustable optical path input component further includes a third reflector, which is disposed on the reflected optical path of the second reflector, and the Dowell prism is disposed on the reflected optical path of the third reflector for reflecting the laser to the Dowell prism.
[0010] Preferably, the base material of both the front high-reflection mirror 302 and the rear high-reflection mirror 303 is zinc selenide, the lens thickness is 5mm, the diameter is 30mm, and the concave surface curvature radius is 1000mm. The concave surfaces of both the front high-reflection mirror 302 and the rear high-reflection mirror 303 are coated with a high-reflection dielectric film, and the flat surfaces are coated with an anti-reflection film.
[0011] Preferably, the distance between the front high-reflection mirror 302 and the rear high-reflection mirror 303 is 160mm.
[0012] This environmental noise suppression integrating cavity greenhouse gas detection device adjusts the laser's operating temperature and current through a laser controller and injects radio frequency white noise into the laser via a radio frequency noise source device, effectively suppressing residual cavity mode noise in the integrating cavity. The laser outputs unidirectional light through an optical isolator, which blocks back-propagating light, thus reducing background light interference. The laser then travels through an optical fiber collimator to a first reflecting mirror, which in turn reflects the laser light to a second reflecting mirror and a Dowell prism. The laser light refracted and reflected by the Dowell prism is directly reflected onto the concave surface of an off-axis parabolic mirror, with a portion... The laser beam is reflected by the first mirror to the second mirror, and then directly reflected by the second mirror onto the concave surface of the off-axis parabolic mirror. The off-axis parabolic mirror then reflects the laser beams from each path simultaneously to the plane of the front high-reflection mirror. The plane of the front high-reflection mirror reflects the reflected laser beams to the hollow roof prism mirror. After passing through the hollow roof prism mirror, the reflected light is reversed 180 degrees and reflected again to the plane of the front high-reflection mirror. This achieves the purpose of injecting the reflected light into the optical resonant cavity at a fully off-axis angle, greatly improving the utilization rate of the laser and solving the problems of fully off-axis optical resonant cavity and effectively suppressing residual cavity mode noise.
