## Abstract

To ensure personnel safety and prevent serious accidents, it is crucial to monitor parameters such as temperature, pressure, and gas composition concentrations in confined spaces. This study proposes a multi-parameter simultaneous inversion algorithm based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS). The algorithm integrates the Levenberg–Marquardt (L-M) fitting method, single-line thermometry and manometry methods, spectral separation, and alternating iteration techniques, with an adaptive feedback mechanism adding to enhance convergence stability. Through this approach, simultaneous inversion of H2O, CO2, CO, and O2 concentrations, temperature, and pressure was successfully achieved. Simulation results demonstrated that the measurement accuracy meets practical requirements. This study provides an effective monitoring method for multi-parameter detection in confined spaces within conventional environments and lays a foundation for expanding the application scope of TDLAS technology.
