Abstract: Disclosed is an optical detection system for detecting a decomposition product of a high-voltage device, including: a measurement gas chamber and a measurement host. The measurement gas chamber is disposed on the high-voltage device and is in communication with a gas chamber of the high-voltage device, a collimator and a reflector are disposed on two sides of the measurement gas chamber respectively, and the measurement host is connected to the collimator. The collimator is used for emitting measurement laser to the measurement gas chamber according to a laser signal sent by the measurement host, and receiving reflected laser from the reflector and transmitting the reflected laser to the measurement host. In the present invention, data collection and backhaul between a measurement host and a measurement gas chamber are implemented through a laser signal, thus avoiding electromagnetic interference and improving the safety of measurement for a high-voltage device.
