Ammonia detection by use of quartz-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy with a near-IR telecommunication diode laser.

A gas sensor based on quartz-enhanced photoacoustic detection and a fiber-coupled telecommunication distributed-feedback diode laser was designed and characterized for trace NH3 monitoring at a 1.53-microm wavelength (overtone absorption region). Signal and noise dependence on gas pressure were studied to optimize sensor performance. The ammonia concentration resulting in a noise-equivalent sig...

Examples of Intrusive Acid Dykes in Eastern Tasmania1

Observations of the relationship between linear or planar features on either side of dykes usually form the basis of a field determination of their mode of emplacement, although it is known that sections oblique to planar features may lead to conflicting results. In Eastern Tasmania only rarely are examples encountered where dyke wall-rock units are of use. However, dyke wall irregularities are...
