摘要：Since the gas infrared absorption spectrum source intensity of several in a thousand, it is even less linewidth is only several nanometers occupying the than the noise of light source. The signal of gas absorption is submerged in the noise, so it is impossible to measure the concentration of gas with spectrum absorption directly. According to the principle and parameters of difference absorption system of CH4 gas, a detection circuit consisted of the lock-in amplifier is designed. The experiment results indicated that the detection circuit can satisfy the demand of the whole system, and the limit concentration is 150×10^-6.
