Abstract
In this paper, a photoacoustic spectroscopy sensor based on multi-reflection differential Helmholtz cell and Variational Mode Decomposition-adaptive iteratively reweighted penalized least squares (VMD-airPLS) algorithm is proposed to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) and reduce the response time of the system. The Helmholtz photoacoustic cell, fabricated from brass, allows multiple reflections of the laser light within its resonant cavity, effectively increasing the gas absorption path by a factor of ∼ 6. The VMD-airPLS algorithm suppresses incoherent noise and slowly varying baseline noise over time. To validate the performance of the system, methane is measured using a laser with a wavelength of 1653.7 nm. Experimental results demonstrate a significant enhancement in the sensitivity of system, up to approximately 2.2 times, and an improvement in the SNR by up to approximately 4.2 times compared to single-pass system. The minimum detection limit for methane is ∼ 96.79 ppb.
期刊介绍:
Sensors and Actuators A: Physical brings together multidisciplinary interests in one journal entirely devoted to disseminating information on all aspects of research and development of solid-state devices for transducing physical signals. Sensors and Actuators A: Physical regularly publishes original papers, letters to the Editors and from time to time invited review articles within the following device areas:
• Fundamentals and Physics, such as: classification of effects, physical effects, measurement theory, modelling of sensors, measurement standards, measurement errors, units and constants, time and frequency measurement. Modeling papers should bring new modeling techniques to the field and be supported by experimental results.
• Materials and their Processing, such as: piezoelectric materials, polymers, metal oxides, III-V and II-VI semiconductors, thick and thin films, optical glass fibres, amorphous, polycrystalline and monocrystalline silicon.
• Optoelectronic sensors, such as: photovoltaic diodes, photoconductors, photodiodes, phototransistors, positron-sensitive photodetectors, optoisolators, photodiode arrays, charge-coupled devices, light-emitting diodes, injection lasers and liquid-crystal displays.
• Mechanical sensors, such as: metallic, thin-film and semiconductor strain gauges, diffused silicon pressure sensors, silicon accelerometers, solid-state displacement transducers, piezo junction devices, piezoelectric field-effect transducers (PiFETs), tunnel-diode strain sensors, surface acoustic wave devices, silicon micromechanical switches, solid-state flow meters and electronic flow controllers.
