Real-time infrared gas detection based on an adaptive Savitzky–Golay algorithm

Abstract Based on the Savitzky–Golay filter, we have developed in the present study a simple but robust method for real-time processing of tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) signals. Our method was developed to resolve the blindness of selecting the input filter parameters and to mitigate potential signal distortion induced in digital signal processing. Application of the developed adaptive Savitzky–Golay filter algorithm to the simulated and experimentally observed signals and comparison with the wavelet-based de-noising technique indicate that the newly developed method is effective in obtaining high-quality TDLAS data for a wide variety of applications including atmospheric environmental monitoring and industrial processing control.
