In order to enhance gas absorption efficiency and improve the detection sensitivity of methane, a gas absorption cell with an effective optical path length of 29.37 m was developed, employing tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) and a distributed feedback (DFB) laser with a center wavelength of 1.654 μm as the light source. However, despite these advancements, the detection accuracy was still limited by potential signal interference and noise. To address these challenges, the Savitzky–Golay (S-G) filtering technique was implemented to optimize the TDLAS detection signal. Experimental results indicated a significant enhancement in detection performance. For a methane concentration of 92 ppm, the application of the S-G filter improved the signal-to-noise ratio by a factor of 1.84, resulting in a final device detection accuracy of 0.53 ppm. This improvement demonstrates the effectiveness of the S-G filter in enhancing detection sensitivity, supporting high-precision methane monitoring for atmospheric analysis and various industrial applications.
The optical properties of an off-axis integrated cavity system are influenced by both structural deformation and thermal deformation. In this paper, the finite element simulation and analysis software COMSOL multiphysics was used to numerically simulate the optical system. By coupling geometric optics, solid mechanics, and solid heat transfer and conducting parametric temperature scanning, a multiphysics simulation of the off-axis integrated cavity optical sensing system was achieved. The effects of different temperature conditions on the stress field, displacement field, and optical mirrors were analyzed, and changes in optical properties were assessed using ray trajectories and point diagrams. Additionally, optical simulation software was used to simulate and optimize the experimental optical path, obtaining the distribution of light spots on the detector surface. This provides a theoretical basis for the subsequent optimization of the off-axis integrated cavity optical system.
