    Carbon dioxide (CO2) gas detection has important research significance in various fields, such as environmental monitoring, agricultural production, and microbial detection. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy(TDLAS/WMS) based on wavelength modulation detection systems has become an important means of precision gas detection due to its significant advantages of high sensitivity, low cost, non-invasiveness, and real-time monitoring. However, the system is susceptible to interference from various environmental noises, significantly impacting gas detection accuracy and stability. The commonly used traditional time-frequency analysis algorithm cannot effectively filter out the low-frequency signal noise coupled with the absorption signal, which will interfere with the subsequent gas concentration retrieval task. With their powerful feature mapping capabilities, deep learning algorithms can project signals into a new feature space, learn the distribution of spectral signal background structures, and thus overcome the limitations of time-frequency domain filtering algorithms. Therefore, a deep learning-based TDLAS carbon dioxide gas detection filtering algorithm (TGDF) is proposed to reduce the influence of full-frequency noise in the gas detection system and improve the accuracy of gas measurements. The TGDF takes a fully connected neural network as the infrastructure and adds sampling blocks to remove noise in the feature domain; in addition, the singular value decomposition is introduced to further adjust the harmonic signals. The model is trained, tested, and tuned by simulating different concentrations of CO2 absorption spectra with noise under experimental conditions, and the model performance is tested on the experimental dataset. In the simulation experiments, the average signal-to-noise ratio of the TGDF-filtered spectra increased by a factor of 3.05 from 7.34 dB to 22.41 dB. It kept the lowest noise residuals in the frequency domain. In real experiments, there is a good linear relationship between the second harmonic amplitude and preset concentrations of CO2(R2=0.998); the average absolute error (MAE) of five CO2 detections is divided into 0.27%, 0.20%, 0.23%, 0.28% and 0.32%. Compared with the commonly used filtering algorithms such as EMD, SG, Wavelet transform, and MLP neural networks in these two datasets, the TGDF showed the best performance in suppressing systematic noises of different frequencies and phases. The results fully proved that TGDF could effectively reduce the systematic noise of each frequency band in the harmonic signal of gas detection and improve the accuracy and stability of TDLAS CO2 concentration detection, which provides a feasible technical means for high-sensitivity measurement of CO2 and other trace gases.
