Abstract:
A new wavelength modulated photoacoustic spectrometer based on a near-infrared tunable erbium doped fiber laser (TEDFL) and an erbium doped fiber amplifier (EDFA) is first developed for trace gas detection. This sensor has been applied to the detection of ammonia using a first longitudinal resonant photoacoustic cell with double absorption optical path (L=20cm) and lock-in harmonic detection technique. The minimum detectable limit of 3 parts-per-billion volume (signal-to-noise ratio=1) and response time of approximately 1min is achieved at room temperature and atmospheric pressure with 100ms time constant and 500mW optical power at the 1531.7nm transition line.

There are three main types of inductively coupled plasma atomic emission spectroscopy (ICP-AES) instruments: sequential, simultaneous multichannel, and Fourier transform instruments, with the latter being less commonly used.
Raman Spectroscopy Instrumentation: Overview
The monochromatic laser source, typically using visible or near-infrared radiation, generates a highly focused beam of light. This light interacts with the molecules of the sample, scattering some of the light. Liquid and gaseous samples are usually tested in ordinary glass capillaries, while solids can be analyzed as powders packed in capillaries or as potassium...
