Abstract
This paper presents a calibration-free wavelength-modulated laser heterodyne radiometer (CF-WM-LHR) system, including the LabVIEW-designed software signal generator and software digital lock-in amplifier, monitors atmospheric methane (CH4) column concentration in real-time. Hefei Institute of Physical Sciences experiments with specific laser and SR830 settings acquire six signals per measurement. The 2 f signal of CH4 reaches near its maximum at a 0.28 V optimal modulation voltage. A 395–520 MHz bandpass achieves 250 MHz (0.0083 cm−1) spectral resolution. Compared with SR830, the software digital lock-in amplifier can demodulate multiple signals and attain an improved 2 f/1 f SNR of 429.3. The CF-WM-LHR system provides new greenhouse gas detection methods, and the software digital lock-in amplifier is crucial for inversion.
