I=R×F (7)
wherein R represents the spectral response function matrix of the detector and I is the photocurrent data matrix obtained by the test, so that the unknown target spectrum F can be reconstructed by solving equation (7).
The infrared spectrum is a molecular spectrum, the molecular structure of a substance has uniqueness, so the molecular structure of the substance can be determined by detecting the spectral data of a sample, the unknown sample is qualitatively and quantitatively analyzed by analyzing the spectral absorbance, the absorption peak area and the shape of the unknown sample, the theoretical basis of the infrared spectrum quantitative analysis method is the Lambert-beer law, greenhouse gases mainly comprise CO2, CH4, N2O and water vapor, and the absorption peak areas of the gas components are all in the infrared spectrum area.
When light irradiates gas molecules, if the spectrum intersects with the absorption peak spectral line of the gas molecules, a part of the light is consumed, resulting in the reduction of the total light intensity, and the specific explanation of the Lambert-beer law is that when infrared light takes the light intensity as P0The light intensity of the emerging light P upon incidence into an unknown gas sample can be expressed as equation (8):
P(t)=P0(t)×exp[-α(λ)LC] (8)
where C is the gas concentration, α is the absorption coefficient of the gas, L is the optical path length, and P is0The intensity of incident light and the intensity of emergent light are respectively calculated, a broadband infrared light source with a proper detection waveband is selected through researching a molecular characteristic absorption peak of the gas to be detected, the gas to be detected and a transmission light path complete absorption, and the concentration of the gas to be detected is calculated by utilizing the Lambert-beer law.

Ijit can be understood that light with various wavelengths superposes the photocurrent signal generated by the detector, and when the sampling value k of the spectral response function is large, F (lambda) R can be usedjThe accumulation of (λ) is expressed in integral form as follows:
the above calculation processing formula can be expressed by a matrix, and the expression is as follows:
I=R×F
where R is a 9 × K matrix representing the spectral response function, I is a 9 × 1 matrix representing the photocurrent information, and F is a K × 1 matrix representing the light source spectral information, where I and R are known quantity matrices and F is an unknown quantity.
There are two cases where the solution to the system of R × F linear equations needs to satisfy that the rank of the R matrix is equal to the rank of the augmented matrix (R, I), there are two cases where there are unique solutions or infinite solutions, and in order for the equation to have a unique solution needs to satisfy that the rank of the R matrix is equal to the rank of the augmented matrix (R, I) and the rank is equal to the number of samples K.
By making the system of linear equations have a unique solution through reasonable arrangement, the solution of the F matrix can be expressed as:
F=R-1×I
R-1is an inverse matrix of R, which exists if the determinant of the matrix is not zero, and the row vectors of the R matrix are not linearly related due to the difference of spectral response functions between different detectors, i.e. the determinant of the R matrix is not zero, so R exists.
The linear system of equations is uniquely solved by selecting a suitable value of k, the signal processing system (13) takes the photocurrent signal and the spectral response function as inputs, knowing the R matrix and the I matrix, and solves the inverse matrix R-1The inverse matrix is multiplied by the matrix I to obtain an unknown matrix F, and a linear equation set consisting of 9 equations is obtained through calculation processing to reconstruct the absorption spectrum F (lambda) of the gas.
The absorption coefficient of the gas corresponds to the wavelength of the absorption peak position, and the intensity of the gas absorption is directly proportional to the gas concentration, so the wavelength corresponding to the absorption peak and the magnitude of the peak attenuation need to be determined in the corresponding calculation of the gas detection.
Next, the steps of gas detection and the analysis process are described, first, the whole of the absorption gas chamber (3) is charged with N2Due to N2No absorption peak exists in the near infrared band, at this time, the spectrum obtained by testing that no greenhouse gas (3) is introduced into the absorption gas chamber is considered as the original spectrum of the infrared light source, and the light intensity P of the infrared light source can be obtained through the original spectrum0(λ)。
After the absorption gas chamber (3) is filled with greenhouse gas to be detected, an absorption spectrum is measured, whether an absorption peak exists in the wavelength range of 4.15-4.4 mu m in the absorption spectrum is detected, if the absorption peak exists in the wavelength range, the existence of CO in the greenhouse gas can be judged2And (3) components.
In confirming the presence of CO in the gas2Under the condition of components, the light intensity P (t) corresponding to each wavelength of light emitted from the absorption gas chamber (3) can be obtained after the absorption spectrum of the gas is obtained, the absorption spectrum is processed in a signal processing system (13), and the signal processing system (13) comprises a standard gas absorption spectrum database and gas absorption coefficients alpha (lambda), CO of various greenhouse gases2The gas absorption coefficient alpha (lambda) of the gas component is known in advance, and is fixed by the structure of the absorption gas chamber (3), so the optical path length L is fixed, and the light intensity P of the infrared light source is fixed0Since (. lamda.) is also fixed, CO can be obtained by Lambert-beer's law2The concentration of the gas, C, the expression of lambert-beer's law is as follows:
this example demonstrates that the system reconstructs the absorption spectra of the gases by a single detector combined with 9 biases, followed by infrared spectral absorption and combined with the lambert-beer law for CO in greenhouse gases2Detection of CO in greenhouse gases2Identification of gas composition, in addition to CO2The detection of the gas concentration shows the feasibility of the system, and the system can obtain high-resolution spectral information by increasing the sampling rate k of the spectral response function and combining more bias settings, thereby improving the gas detection performance of the system.
