Abstract

The present disclosure provides an apparatus and a method for measuring a concentration of pollutants in water. A passive Q-switched fiber laser outputs an evanescent wave to a to-be-tested water sample after emitting a Q-switched pulse laser signal and transmitting it via an evanescent field fiber, and based on an evanescent wave change caused by an absorption effect of the pollutants in the to-be-tested water sample to the evanescent wave and an output repetition frequency change of the passive Q-switched fiber laser due to the evanescent wave change, outputs an output repetition frequency result of the passive Q-switched fiber laser. The method is simple; and the apparatus based on the method is simple in structure and low in cost.
