摘要

We have built a complete Raman detection system for multi-trace-gas diagnosis, which is suitable for analyzing the dissolved gases in electric power system. In the system, a high-sensitivity CCD device connected to a spectrometer is used as the detection unit of the Raman system. A near-confocal cavity is used for improving the detection sensitivity of the system. In the effective spectral range of about 570-710 nm, Raman spectra of eight typical gases are achieved by using this Raman system. The detection limits for different gases have been obtained: 126 ppm for CO2, 21 ppm for CH4, 63 ppm for C2H4, 42 ppm for C2H2, 96.6 ppm for H-2. The detectability of the system satisfies the requirements of gas diagnosis in power transformer.
