Patent number: 11940375Abstract: The present disclosure relates to the technical field of fiber-optic gas sensing and laser photoacoustic spectroscopy, and reliability of a gas detection system is improved by actively selecting a working frequency of low noise interference combined with an optical fiber photoacoustic sensing probe capable of isolating high-frequency noise. A gas enters a photoacoustic microcavity through gaps on a sound-sensitive diaphragm after diffusing into a miniature air chamber through a plurality of micropores. Photoacoustic excitation light is incident into the photoacoustic microcavity through a fiber-optic collimator and then excited to generate a photoacoustic pressure wave to cause the sound-sensitive diaphragm to vibrate periodically. An end face of a single-mode optical fiber and the sound-sensitive diaphragm constitutes a fiber-optic Fabry-Perot interferometer. The interferometer measures a deflection of the diaphragm and inverts a concentration of the to-be-measured gas.Type: GrantFiled: November 26, 2021Date of Patent: March 26, 2024Assignees: STATE GRID ANHUI ELECTRIC POWER RESEARCH INSTITUTE, Dalian University of TechnologyInventors: Fengxiang Ma, Ke Chen, Yue Zhao, Feng Zhu, Min Guo, Yu Tian, Xiaofang Yuan, Yabin Ma, Chen Hang
