"Gas Sensing with Tunable Lasers"

Abstract

Trace gas sensing plays an important role in different areas like
environment, industry, agriculture, medical diagnostics, etc. This lecture
discusses the fundamentals and main issues of gas sensing with tunable
lasers emitting in the near- and mid-infrared wavelength range. The
performance of some  systems that we have developed at our institute is
presented. The laser sources employed are near-IR diode lasers, CO2-lasers,
quantum cascade lasers and nonlinear optical sources like optical
parametric oscillators and difference frequency generation: Detection
schemes include multipass absorption, photoacoustics and cavity ringdown.
Illustrative examples ranging from street traffic emission to hydrogen
diffusion in optical fibers are discussed.

Abstract

Trace gas analysis requires high sensitivity and selectivity,
multi-component capability, large dynamic range, fieldability, etc. In
recent years we have developed spectroscopic systems based on tunable
infrared lasers that can fulfil many of these requirements. Lasers like
external cavity diode lasers, CO2 lasers, quantum cascade lasers, optical
parametric oscillators and difference frequency generation sources are
employed. Detection schemes include multipass absorption, photoacoustics
and cavity ringdown. The performance of several systems is demonstrated
with illustrative applications such as  street traffic emission
measurements, analysis of fume samples from electro-knive surgery in
hospitals or monitoring of hydrogen diffusion in optical fibers
