Study of SO2 measurement based on a dual optical path Fabry-Perot correlation spectroscopy
Abstract:
This paper investigates a method for measuring SO2 concentration using Fabry-Perot interferometer correlation spectroscopy. In this method, the experimental system is designed as a separated beam, with the beam entering the F-P cavity at two incidence angles simultaneously to match the peak and valley positions of the SO2 absorption cross-section. The system achieves a 2σ detection limit of 28.2 ppm·m(15 cm) at a sampling frequency of 10 Hz. An outfield comparison experiment with the differential optical absorption spectroscopy method shows good agreement for the simultaneous measurement of SO2 concentration from sulfur combustion, with a correlation coefficient of R2 = 0.93. This study introduces a non-dispersive, highly accurate, and fast gas detection technique.

Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
