Abstract:
In this paper, based on TDLAS technology, an all-fiber NH
3 concentration detection system was built by using the designed microfiber gas absorption cell. The core part of the NH
3 detection system was sensed by a 1.51 μm microfiber. The test results of the system indicate that there is a good linear relationship between the second harmonic amplitude and the corresponding concentration for NH
3 in the concentration range of 20000 ppm~100000 ppm (correlation coefficient of fitting formula
R=0.9962). To improve the detection performance of NH
3 concentration, the gold-nanosphere (GNS) coated microfiber is used to enhance the evanescent field effect. According to the experimental results, the sensitivity of the microfiber coated GNSs NH
3 concentration detection system has been greatly improved and the lower detection limit of NH
3 concentration can reach 260 ppm. Repeated monitoring of different concentrations of NH
3 shows that the detection system is stable with a maximum relative error of 5.38%, which makes it suitable for long-term stable NH
3 monitoring and has wide application prospects.
