Detection of the Gaseous Pollutant Sulfur Dioxide Using Current Tunable Pb(1-x) SnM(x) Te Diode Lasers
Applied Optics
|February 2, 2010
Abstract:
Current tunable semiconductor lasers of Pb(1-x)Sn(x)Te have been used to investigate the ir spectrum of sulfur dioxide at high resolution near 1130 cm(-1). The diode lasers emit radiation in a line of width <10(-5) cm(-1) thus providing much higher resolution than has been possible with the best grating spectrometer. The effects of self-broadening and broadening by nitrogen to a pressure of 760 Torr are presented, and some characteristics of the laser source such as stability and reproducibility are discussed.

01:19Gas Chromatography: Types of Detectors-II
In gas chromatography, different detectors are employed to meet specific analytical needs. These detectors are often categorized based on their detection mechanisms and the types of compounds they are best suited to analyze. Thermal Conductivity Detectors (TCD), Flame Ionization Detectors (FID), and Electron Capture Detectors (ECD) represent common categories, each with unique operating principles and applications. However, beyond these, several other detectors are designed for more specialized...
01:21Gas Chromatography: Types of Detectors-I
There are different types of detectors used in gas chromatography, each with its own specific properties that make it suitable for detecting certain types of analytes. The most commonly used detectors in GC are thermal conductivity detector (TCD), flame ionization detector (FID), and electron capture detector (ECD).
TCD is the earliest and most widely used detector that operates by measuring the changes in the thermal conductivity of the carrier gas. When a sample compound enters the detector,...
