The present invention relates to the technical field of analysis of decomposition products of components on a high-voltage device, and in particular, to an optical detection system.
As the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy matures gradually, it gradually becomes the mainstream detection technology in replacement of conventional measurement methods such as electrochemical measurement and non-dispersive infrared measurement. In current optical measurement methods based on the tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy, the absorption principle is based on the Beer—Lambert law, where the detection precision is directly proportional to the optical path length, and a longer optical path indicates higher detection precision.
When the system does not require a high detection capability or a detected gas has high absorptivity, the optical path length does not need to be increased. Laser can be directly focused within a core diameter of an optical fiber after absorption by the gas. After transmission over the optical fiber, an optical signal is converted into an electrical signal by using an optical-to-electrical converter in a device host. When the system requires a high detection capability or a detected gas has weak absorptivity, the optical path length needs to be increased. After the laser is transmitted over a long distance, a relatively large spot is generated due to divergence, and it is difficult to focus the laser within the core diameter of the optical fiber. The optical signal needs to be directly converted into an electrical signal by using an optical-to-electrical converter. The problem of the existing solution lies in that, in the case of a long optical path, a collimated light beam diverges gradually during propagation, and a detector needs to be disposed in a gas chamber to convert an optical signal into an electrical signal. The electrical signal is vulnerable to electromagnetic interference, and the high-voltage device has a high voltage therein, which causes inconvenience in use and is unsafe.
To solve the foregoing defects in the prior art, an objective of the present invention is to provide an optical detection system, to avoid electrical signal transmission and improve the safety of measurement for a high-voltage device.
