Abstract

A fiber laser gas detection system with a double wavelength combination using reference cavity compensation is provided. The system comprises an optical fiber laser respectively emitting beams having a first and second wavelengths, which consists of a laser diode pump source, a first wavelength division multiplexer, an active optical fiber, a first fiber bragg grating and a second fiber bragg grating connected successively; an optical isolator; a coupler for dividing the beams according to power ratio, the divided beams is introduced into a reference gas chamber and a detecting gas chamber respectively; a second wavelength division multiplexer connecting the reference room and a third wavelength division multiplexer connecting the detecting gas chamber; a first, a second, a third and a fourth photoelectric detector; a feedback control unit, receiving the first to fourth light intensity signals and adjusting the fiber laser using the comparison results as a feedback signal.
