| Summary: | To meet the needs of industrial and environmental monitoring of methane and ethane flammable gases, a low-stress filter device for detecting methane and ethane simultaneously is developed based on the absorption spectra of methane and ethane and the thin-film design theory. In order to improve the sensitivity of the detection system and reduce the influence of environmental noise, the information of methane and ethane gas is extracted simultaneously by using a filter with double bandpass and wide cut-off in the middle-infrared and far-infrared bands. The transmittance of the filter is 91.3%, 93.1%, and 93.02% at the wavelengths of 3.31 μm, 6.71 μm, and 7.67 μm, respectively. The cut-off depth in the cut-off interval is above OD3, which meets the system’s requirements. |
