Thermal Effects of an ICL-based Mid-Infrared CH4 Sensor Within a Wide Atmospheric Temperature Range
Infrared physics & technology(2018)
摘要
The thermal effects of an interband cascade laser (ICL) based mid-infrared methane (CH4) sensor that uses long-path absorption spectroscopy were studied. The sensor performance in the laboratory at a constant temperature of similar to 25 degrees C was measured for 5 h and its Allan deviation was similar to 2 ppbv with a 1 s averaging time. A LabVIEW-based simulation program was developed to study thermal effects on infrared absorption and a temperature compensation technique was developed to minimize these effects. An environmental test chamber was employed to investigate the thermal effects that occur in the sensor system with variation of the test chamber temperature between 10 and 30 degrees C. The thermal response of the sensor in a laboratory setting was observed using a 2.1 ppm CH4 standard gas sample. Indoor/outdoor CH4 measurements were conducted to evaluate the sensor performance within a wide atmospheric temperature range. (C) 2018 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.
