Wavelength modulation spectroscopy at 1530.32 nm for measurements of acetylene based on Fabry-Perot tunable filter

Sensitive detection of acetylene（C_2H_2） is performed by absorption spectroscopy and wavelength modulation spectroscopy（WMS） based on Fiber Fabry–Perot tunable filter（FFP-TF） at 1530.32 nm. After being calibrated by Fiber Bragg Grating（FBG）, FFP-TF is frequency-multiplexed and modulated at 20 Hz and 2.5 kHz respectively to achieve wavelength modulation. The linearity with 0.9907 fitting coefficient is obtained by measuring different concentrations in a 100 ppmv–400 ppmv range. Furthermore, the stability of the system is analyzed by detecting 50 ppmv and 100 ppmv standard gases for 2 h under room temperature and ambient pressure conditions respectively. The precision of 11 ppmv is achieved by calculating the standard deviation. Therefore, the measuring system of C_2H_2 detection can be applied in practical applications.
