Traditional gas detection technology has a certain degree of defects in all aspects, and it has not been able to adapt to the rapid development trend. Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology has some good performance and is gradually being used in various industries. First, a gas detection instrument is designed. Then, based on subsequent data processing techniques, a wavelet transform algorithm is proposed, and the noise removal and baseline correction functions of the detection system are implemented. The results show that the proposed method has good removal effect on the inherent noise of the system and high efficiency. During the selection of the absorption line, the selected line of some gases cannot avoid the interference of adjacent peaks. Therefore, a mathematical analysis method of differential fold back algorithm is proposed. The absorption peak shape is squeezed by the method of adjacent phase subtraction and displacement superposition. The problem is solved well, and the accuracy of concentration measurement of some gases is effectively improved.

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology is adopted herein to detect fire gas produced in the early stage of the fire. Based on this technology, a fire warning detection system with multiple lasers and detectors is proposed. Multiple drivers input laser’s temperature and injected current data, making its output wavelength consistent with the measured gas’ absorption peak wavelengths in absorption spectroscopy. Multiple light beams are coupled to the same optical fiber. After the light beams pass through the long optical path absorption cell filled with fire gas, the beams are separated by a converter. The signals are demodulated by different detectors and further analyzed for fire warnings. After the fire warning system’s design, the system’s various hardware modules are designed, including the light source module, TDLAS controller, gas chamber module, photoelectric detector, and data collection. When the temperature remains unchanged, the output wavelength is linearly related to the injected current. When the injected current remains unchanged, the output wavelength is linearly related to the operating temperature. With a semiconductor laser’s injected current of 40 mA, the initial temperature of 38.6 °C, and the output wavelength of 1578.16 nm, the output wavelength increases continuously as the temperature increases. The harmonic signal amplitude after gas absorption is positively correlated with the measured gas concentration, indicating that the second harmonic signals can estimate the fire gas concentration.
