Study on the multi-channel scanning fiber-optic infrared spectrum system for measuring gas concentration

An infrared(IR) spectrum system for measuring gas concentration is presented based on the technique of acousto-optic tunable filter(AOTF).In this system a xenon lamp as the light source of the broadband spectrum was used,an AOTF as dispersive element which used TeO-2 crystal as interaction mediums was applied,an InGaAs PIN PDA was selected as a multi-channel detector,the optical fibers were utilized to probe and transmit light,a computer was utilized to process and display the results.The system changed broadband light into homogeneous light by acousto-optical modulation,realized spectrum scannig through varying the ultrasonic driving frequency.Quick measurement of different gases was attained.It had no mechanical tunable components,the structure is simple.The experimental results of CH-4 show that its effective measuring range is 900～1900nm,and the spectral resolution is 60nm,it can be applied to on-line detection of harmful gases.
