複雑環境における水素検出のための超高感度手法を開発(Researchers Develop Ultra-Sensitive Method for Hydrogen Detection in Complex Environments)

中国科学院・合肥物質科学研究院のFANG Yonghua研究チームは、水素の超高感度検出法「DPA-SRS(差分光音響誘起ラマン分光法)」を開発した。水素は双極子モーメントを持たず赤外吸収法では検出困難であり、従来のラマン法も信号が弱い課題があった。本手法は誘起ラマン散乱と光音響検出を組み合わせ、分子振動エネルギーに一致する二色光励起により信号を増強し、振動緩和を音響信号として高感度に取得する。さらに差分型共鳴セルと弱信号処理により、大気圧下で1ppm、検出限界0.65ppmを達成した。複雑環境下での非極性ガス検出に有効で、水素エネルギーの安全監視への応用が期待される。

Abstract

To detect non-polar, infrared-inactive hydrogen, a Differential Photoacoustic-Stimulated Raman Spectroscopy (DPA-SRS) method is proposed. Utilizing the SRS process, a portion of the pump light is converted into intense Stokes light corresponding to the hydrogen Raman shift, eliminating complex dual-laser configurations. The nonlinear thermoacoustic effect is excited by this dual-color light field, endowing Photoacoustic Spectroscopy with the capability for hydrogen fingerprint identification. Raman cell pressure was optimized to achieve a synergistic enhancement of the Stokes conversion efficiency and the Four-Wave Mixing effect. Furthermore, an acoustic mode-optimized differential H-type resonant photoacoustic cell was designed, which effectively enhances anti-interference capability through the differential detection mechanism. Distinct from traditional lock-in amplification methods, a time-frequency transformation algorithm was employed to precisely extract the frequency-domain photoacoustic signal from the broadband time-domain acoustic signal. Experimental results demonstrate that the DPA-SRS system exhibits excellent linearity and achieves a Limit of Detection of 0.65 ppm under atmospheric conditions.
