Abstract:
Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) is a new method to detect trace-gas qualitatively or quantificationally based on the scan characteristic of the diode laser used to obtain the absorption spectroscopy in the characteristic absorption region It needs to be combined with a long absorption path in the ambient trace-gas measurements. TDLAS is a new trace gas detective method developed with the combination of a tunable diode laser source and a long absorption path; it has significant advantages not only in the sensitivity but also in rapidity of response. It has been widely used in many atmospheric trace-gases detection, ground trace-gas detection and, gas leakage detection. On-line calibrating is necessary to most trace gas monitor, and in the present paper the authors introduced a simple and accurate method, analyzed it in the theory, and proved it's feasibility in the experiment.
