    Area of Science:

    • Environmental monitoring
    • Optical sensing technologies
    • Atmospheric science

    Background:

    • Accurate water vapor detection is crucial for environmental monitoring and weather forecasting.
    • Traditional dual-beam systems are susceptible to environmental interference and optical loss.
    • Existing single-beam systems often lack robustness in fluctuating light conditions.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To propose a robust demodulation algorithm for single-beam water vapor detection.
    • To enhance immunity to light power fluctuations and optical loss.
    • To demonstrate the superiority of the proposed method over existing systems.

    Main Methods:

    • Development of a demodulation algorithm based on the head-tail technique.
    • Processing collected data by summing head and tail data, progressively moving towards the center.
    • Integration of an optical intensity normalization coefficient to compensate for photocurrent attenuation.

    Main Results:

    • The head-tail technique demonstrated immunity to light power fluctuations.
    • A 4% light power attenuation resulted in only 1.29% deviation in the single-beam system.
    • The proposed system showed significantly lower deviation (1.29%) compared to a dual-beam system (8.45%).

    Conclusions:

    • The proposed head-tail demodulation algorithm offers a reliable and valid solution for single-beam water vapor detection.
    • The simplified system design, without a beam splitter, enhances reliability.
    • This method presents a significant advancement over previous single-beam detection systems, especially in rough environmental conditions.
