长光程共振式二氧化碳气体光声传感器研究

二氧化碳(CO₂)是植物光合作用的原材料,也是一种温室气体,其过量地排放会影响动植物的生态环境。在碳达峰、碳中和的背景下,研制高灵敏度的CO₂检测装置具有重要意义。为了监测大气环境中CO₂含量的变化,设计了一种长光程共振式CO₂气体光声传感器,并以此搭建了光声检测装置。以中心波长为2 004 nm的分布式反馈激光器(DFB)作为激发光源,激光射入由漫反射材料制成的球型吸收腔,在腔内多次反射以增加气体的吸收路径。吸收腔外部被两个高热传导率的铝制半球包裹,降低由池体吸收光能后产生的热噪声。吸收腔上耦合一根声学管,当其工作在一阶纵向共振模态时,光声信号被放大,在管子末端达到极大值。为了进一步增大光声信号,通过饱和加湿样品的方式来加快CO₂气体的弛豫速率,加湿后的样品产生的光声信号是干燥样品的2.1倍左右。使用一系列浓度的湿润CO₂样品标定光声检测装置,结果表明,光声信号与浓度之间呈现良好的线性关系。在此基础上,通过对标准气体的检测实验,验证了装置的准确性与稳定性...

外腔共振和频系统中阻抗匹配的理论研究

外腔共振是提高和频效率的有效方法. 实现外腔共振高效和频需要基频光高效地耦合到外部谐振腔中, 因此系统要达到阻抗匹配. 本文分别建立了双波长和单波长外腔共振和频系统的理论模型, 分析了腔增强因子与耦合腔镜反射率、入射基频光功率等参数的依赖关系, 通过数值模拟获得最优化的共振光耦合腔镜反射率, 使系统达到阻抗匹配, 提高和频效率. 研究表明, 无论双波长还是单波长外腔共振和频系统, 共振基频光的最佳耦合腔镜反射率只会随着另一束共振或者不共振的基频光入射功率的增加而减小, 而其本身的入射功率变化则影响较小; 进一步分析表明, 若共振基频光的耦合腔镜反射率超过阻抗匹配值, 和频光功率将会迅速减小, 而小于阻抗匹配值时, 和频光功率减少速度相对较慢, 因此实验过程中要尽量避免过耦合的情况出现. 本文的理论分析过程将对外腔和频实验有一定的指导意义.

小角度衍射噪声光栅滤波方法研究

针对因衍射等原因引起的小角度差光噪声信号,探讨了利用闪耀光栅的2级闪耀,实现角度差放大,提高空间低通滤波器适应性的滤波新方法。理论分析和模拟仿真表明,对于小于5°的角度差,可实现3倍以上放大。放大所需闪耀光栅的频率与入射单色波长成反比,波长越长,所需光栅频率越低。与正的斜入射角相比,负斜入射角度差的放大倍数更大。当负斜入射角超过一定值时,会因为全反射角的限制而导致斜入射2级闪耀不存在,只保留了有效信号的2级闪耀,滤波效果更好。

Optimization of the Acoustic Pressure Distribution in a Resonant Photoacoustic Cell

The size of a cylindrical photoacoustic cell with suitable size was selected so that the resonant frequency of the first radial mode was equal to that of a longitudinal higher mode. By maintaining two thin coaxial tubes at each end, a enhanced photoacoustic cell was constructed with two tubes of 1/2 and 1/4 of the wavelength. In this enhanced photoacoustie cell, both the first radial resonance and the higher longitudinal resonance were excited adequately. Coupling of two acoustic modes makes the acoustic energy concentrating in the middle of the cell. The surface loss was decreased, the acoustic quality factor and pressure amplitude increased obviously as compared with conventional cylindrical cell.     

Modulated resonant versus pulsed resonant photoacoustics in trace gas detection

Modulated resonant photoacoustics is a sensitive technique widely used for trace gas sensing. Generally, a continuous-wave laser is modulated at a frequency corresponding to an acoustic resonance of a photoacoustic cell. Another mode of operation—which we propose to call the pulsed resonant mode—consists in matching the frequency repetition rate of a pulsed laser to an acoustic resonance of the cell. We present a theoretical model to compare the performance of these two configurations. For a given average power of the incoming light inside the cell, the pulsed resonant mode of operation (nanosecond pulses or shorter) produces π/2 times higher photoacoustic signals than the modulated resonant scheme (the latter is optimized for a 50% duty cycle). This result agrees with experiments during which both cases were investigated at 532 nm using the same photoacoustic cell containing trace concentrations of NO₂.     

Design, simulation and structural optimization of a longitudinal acoustic resonator for trace gas detection using laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS)

The design of the acoustic resonator is critical for the optimization of the sensitivity of laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (LPAS) in trace gas detection applications. In this paper, an LC circuit model is used for the simulation of a 1D acoustic resonator. This acoustic resonator is designed for CO photoacoustic spectroscopy. The effects of the structural parameters, quality factor and resonant frequency on the performance of the device are theoretically analyzed. The role of the buffer volume as an acoustic filter is investigated and optimized dimensions of the buffer volume, to achieve minimum noise transmission coefficient, are calculated. The effects of the ambient temperature, variety of pressure and gas flow velocity on the resonant frequency of photoacoustic resonator and PA signal are simulated. The temperature dependence of the microphone sensitivity is also introduced.     

Numerical shape optimization of photoacoustic resonators

The sensitivity of photoacoustic sensors strongly depends on the shape of the acoustical resonator. Up to now, mainly photoacoustic sensors consisting of a number of cylindrical parts have been investigated (cylinder cells, H cells, T cells etc.). In this paper, a numerical shape optimization of the resonator cell of photoacoustic sensors is described. The approach considers all shapes that can be represented by a number of axisymmetrical truncated cones which are connected in a continuous way. In addition, the geometry of the cell is subjected to certain constraints, e.g.  the laser beam should not be blocked during its passage through the cell. The purpose is to maximize the sensor’s signal strength. The acoustic pressure at the position of the microphone represents the objective function and is calculated using an eigenmode expansion combined with a finite element calculation. The solution of a 17-dimensional nonlinear optimization problem is a resonator shape with a substantial quality improvement with reference to the well-known H cell.

Suppression of an acoustic mode by an elastic mode of a liquid-filled spherical shell resonator

The purpose of this paper is to report on the suppression of an approximately radial (radially symmetric) acoustic mode by an elastic mode of a water-filled, spherical shell resonator. The resonator, which has a 1-in. wall thickness and a 9.5-in. outer diameter, was externally driven by a small transducer bolted to the external wall. Experiments showed that for the range of drive frequencies (19.7-20.6 kHz) and sound speeds in water (1520-1570 m/s) considered in this paper, a nonradial (radially nonsymmetric) mode was also excited, in addition to the radial mode. Furthermore, as the sound speed in the liquid was changed, the resonance frequency of the nonradial mode crossed with that of the radial one and the amplitude of the latter was greatly reduced near the crossing point. The crossing of the eigenfrequency curves of these two modes was also predicted theoretically. Further calculations demonstrated that while the radial mode is an acoustic one associated with the interior fluid, the nonradial mode is an elastic one associated with the shell. Thus, the suppression of the radial acoustic mode is apparently caused by the overlapping with the nonradial elastic mode near the crossing point.

Selection of a LGp0-shaped fundamental mode in a laser cavity: Phase versus amplitude masks

Laser beams of a single high-order transverse mode have been of interest to the laser community for several years now. In order to achieve such a mode as the fundamental mode of the cavity, mode selecting elements in the form of a phase or amplitude mask are often placed inside the resonator. Such elements have the role to impose one or several zeros of intensity of the desired mode. In this paper, we consider the use of the most simple phase (amplitude) mask which is a transparent π-plate (absorbing ring) set inside a diaphragmed laser cavity for selecting a pure LG_p0 mode of radial order, p. We analyse, for each type of mask, the origin of the transverse mode selection, and contrary to what one might expect we find that it is not necessary the absorbing mask that results in the highest losses.
