Abstract

A gas detection system using a semiconductor laser with a reference gas cavity compensation is provided, said system comprising a first light source emitting a first beam of a first wavelength as a detection beam; a second light source emitting a second beam of a second wavelength, which is different from the first wavelength, as a reference beam; a first wavelength division multiplexer connected with said first light source and said second light source; a broadband coupler connected with said first wavelength division multiplexer; a reference gas chamber, which is introduced with reference gas of the same composition as that of the gas to be detected and of a known concentration; a detection gas chamber, which is introduced with the gas to be detected.
