Suppression of overlapping spectral interference based on sub-Doppler wavelength modulation NICE-OHMS
To mitigate the impact of overlapping spectra on the accuracy of spectral information extraction, a multi-gas spectral detection method is proposed in this study, based on Sub-Doppler Noise-Immune Cavity-Enhanced Optical Heterodyne Molecular Spectroscopy (NICE-OHMS). This method leverages high laser power excitation saturation absorption established within a high-finesse optical cavity, resulting in a significant enhancement in spectral resolution and a reduction in spectral interference caused by impurity gases. Furthermore, the incorporation of wavelength modulation techniques effectively eliminates the influence of residual Doppler background on the sub-Doppler signal. A wavelength-modulated sub-Doppler NICE-OHMS model has been developed, with experimental investigations conducted using the transition lines of C2H2 and NH3 at 1 531 nm. The results demonstrate that, under conditions of a modulation frequency of 150 Hz and a modulation amplitude of 2.68 MHz, a sub-Doppler absorption signal of C2H2 exhibiting a saturation degree of 12.10 can be successfully excited within the optical cavity. Additionally, the sub-Doppler absorption of C2H2 is unaffected by the adjacent NH3 spectra and the Doppler background. The sensitivity of the detection system is determined to be 1.163×10-12 cm-1 via Allan variance analysis. These findings confirm that this technique effectively eliminates spectral interference from impurity gases while maintaining high sensitivity and selectivity within the spectral system.
