Abstract：To obtain the weaker second harmonic signal of low concentration, reduce the minimum measurable limit and improve the sensitivity and accuracy of absorption measurement, a serious of data processing methods are proposed based on tunable diode laser wavelength modulation spectroscopy. The experiment on lower NH3 concentration at 2.25 μm was carried out in a 10.13 m absorption cell with different concentration. The peak height of the second harmonic signal is maximum at m=2.2, which optimizes the signal-to-noise ratio. In order to guarantee the optimal signal-to-noise ratio, the experiment was carried out by loading the optimal high frequency modulation signal. WMS-2f was performed at a repetitive scan rate of 200 Hz and a current-modulation rate of 15 kHz, wavelength modulation spectroscopy with the optimal signal-to-noise ratio was adopted for its better noise immunity to measure different lower NH3 concentration in the Herriott cell. This survey is focused on the ν2+ν3 bands of absorption spectra near 2.25 μm in near-infrared region at ambient temperature and pressure, the line strengths of 2.25 μm are much larger than the absorption lines in the telecommunication bands, using stronger NH3 absorption lines can offer the potential of lower detection limits. During the data processing, the background signal of the original harmonic should be deducted at first, the second harmonic signal of 0.6×10-6 was obtained in a 10 m long-path Herriott cell after data processing, these signal processing mainly consist of cross-correlation analysis, multiple averages and wavelet transform analysis, the cross-correlation analysis was used to control the shift of center wavelength, the multiple averages and wavelet transform analysis were used to reduce influences of the environment noise, after that we get the revised second harmonic signal and improve the accuracy of the measurement results. The experimental results show that these data processing methods can obviously improve the signal quality and reduce the minimum measurable limit about 100 times lower than before. The experiment doesn’t need to add any laboratory equipment and can well restrain the influence of the environmental noise and other disturbance, so these signal process combined with wavelength modulation technique will be more useful for on-line gas detection technology.
