调制转移光谱光频率标准系统中电光参数的优化研究

根据窄带相位调制光在非线性吸收介质中的近简并四波混频的物理机理,分析了采用电光调制器实现调制转移光谱(MTS)技术的电磁场激励及其动态演化过程,建立了MTS中频率色散谱和吸收谱的理论模型. 研究结果表明:以分子吸收谱线色散谱信号作为频率误差鉴别信号时,系统调制频率取0.72倍谱线线宽附近可以得到最佳的色散信号强度;解调相位的变化对吸收谱的影响很大,但对色散谱而言,解调相位在90°附近的小范围波动对频率误差信号解调效果影响不大;调制度在0.5–1区域可以得到较好的综合稳频效果. 关键词： 光频率标准 调制转移光谱 频率稳定 电光参数优化     

激光频率调制线型分析

在激光频率调制的理论分析中,一般采用正弦波调制、正弦波解调,而没有讨论调制和解调的其它情况。本文主要分析了Guass线型吸收的情况下,锯齿波调制、方波解调的一次、二次谐波相检结果和三角波调制、方波解调的一次、二次谐波相检结果,以及调制深度对信号谱形和信号强度的影响。我们发现,在锯齿波调制、方波解调情况下,一次、二次谐波谱形和正弦波调制情况区别很大;但在三角波调制、方波解调情况下,可以获得和正弦波调制、正弦波解市场相似的结论。另外,不同的调制深度对输出的调制谱形也有重要的影响。我们还用甲烷的可调谐 红外光调制吸收光谱实验验证了理论分析结果。最终得到结论：频率调制谱的信号谱形及信号强度与调制波形、解调波形和调制深度均有关系。     

连续和准连续调制激光吸收光谱的软件锁相解调比较研究

根据对激光器施加的调制信号是否连续,波长调制光谱分为连续和准连续调制激光吸收光谱技术。为了深入的比较研究这两种方案,设计准连续调制谱专用的软件锁相放大器,将准连续调制信号因间断产生的无效信号滤除后,再对吸收信号解调得到二次谐波信号。与连续激光调制谱软件解调的二次谐波信号进行了比较,结果表明,参数相同,准连续调制谱比连续调制谱的信噪比提高5%、检测限降低11.3%。在滤除无效信号后,准连续调制谱也可以解调出标准的二次谐波信号,因此有望用于与气体线型相关的研究中。该工作为选取更加适用的激光调制谱技术,提供了准确依据。     

基于Gabor变换的TDLAS检测信号的降噪研究

可调谐二极管激光吸收光谱(TDLAS)技术结合波长调制光谱(WMS)技术是用于痕量气体检测的重要技术手段。通过锁相放大器进行谐波检测,对解调得到的二次谐波信号进行分析可获得气体吸收的信息。但由于二次谐波信号受到噪声的影响,降低了检测系统的精度和稳定性。为了提高TDLAS检测系统的信噪比(SNR),提出了一种基于Gabor变换对二次谐波信号进行数字滤波降噪的方法。以CH₄在1 653.72 nm处的吸收光谱为例,通过仿真和实验对该降噪方法的有效性进行了验证。仿真结果表明,通过Gabor变换对信噪比为0dB的二次谐波信号进行处理后,系统的信噪比可提高15.73 dB。实验结果表明,基于Gabor变换进行降噪处理后,CH₄浓度在0.001%～0.02%区间内与二次谐波峰值的线性相关系数r达到了0.996 59,且系统的检测精度和稳定性明显提高。     

Laser spectroscopic oxygen sensor using diffuse reflector based optical cell and advanced signal processing

In this paper, an improved signal processing method is given, aiming at a sensitivity improvement of the tunable diode laser spectroscopy based gas concentration measurement. The gas absorption spectrum is probed with an optimum wavelength scanning function which enables a more efficient curve fit than for traditional linear wavelength scanning. The wavelength scanning function is determined to be optimum, in the sense that the variance of the estimated concentration noise is minimized. This optimum scanning function depends on the signal model used in curve fitting. Several models including interfering gas spectra and etalon fringes are examined. Compared to the gas absorption spectrum recorded by ramping the wavelength linearly, the optimum spectrum waveforms have a cascade structure, which means that the optimum scanning preferably samples important points of the spectrum. The new method theoretically enables a factor of ∼2 improvement on detection sensitivity of the estimated concentration. Furthermore, direct spectroscopy is superior to second harmonic detection, because the concentration noise can be an additional factor of ∼2 lower.

Background-free absorption spectroscopy using delayed balanced detection

A new, simple, background-free absorption spectroscopy technique is used to measure the absorption spectrum of acetylene from 1539.7 to 1542.4 nm at 10-kHz repetition rate. Whereas more traditional background-free methods such as wavelength-modulation spectroscopy (WMS) or frequency-modulation spectroscopy (FMS) rely on modulating the injection current of the light source as well as lock-in detection, this new approach directly yields a difference signal through delayed balanced detection that is equivalent to the 1f signal in WMS. Residual amplitude-modulation (RAM), which can be problematic in WMS and FMS, is not present in this method because no dithering of the injection current is required. In addition, virtually any modulation depth can be realized simply by adjusting an optical delay line.     

双边缘均值光纤Bragg光栅波长解调技术

光纤Bragg光栅（FBG）传感器是一种波长调制型传感器，波长解调技术是FBG传感系统的关键，通常是对FBG反射谱进行波形采样，得到反射谱的峰值信号，以此作为FBG中心波长的特征值。这种方法需要实时采集大量数据，所以影响解调速度。通过对FBG反射谱的分析，得出FBG反射谱具有很好的对称性。在此基础上提出了采用反射波双边缘均值的方法测算中心波长。实验证明，采用这种方法进行波长解调，可以使FBG信号处理简单、动、静态波长时测算精度高，可以极大地提高解调系统处理FBG传感信号的速度。
