Pollution monitor for nitric oxide: a laser device based on the Zeeman modulation of absorption.
نویسندگان
چکیده
The Concentration of nitric oxide can be monitored by a new device in which the Zeeman effect is used to shift an absorption line of nitric oxide into coincidence with a laser line of carbon monoxide. The absorption is modulated by a small, oscillating magnetic field. This device is specific for nitric oxide and is not subject to interference from other gases.

Sub-part-per-billion monitoring of nitric oxide by use of wavelength modulation spectroscopy in combination with a thermoelectrically cooled, continuous-wave quantum cascade laser.
We used a thermoelectrically cooled, continuous-wave, quantum cascade laser operating between 1847 and 1854 cm(-1) in combination with wavelength modulation spectroscopy for the detection of nitric oxide (NO) at the sub-part-per-billion by volume (ppbv) level. The laser emission overlaps the P7.5 doublet of NO centered around 1850.18 cm(-1). Using an astigmatic multiple-pass absorption cell wit...

A novel compact fiber-coupled NIR system based on a DFB diode laser source is employed as a portable and sensitive gas sensor for trace detection of combustion pollutant molecules. We demonstrate the performance of such an NIR gas sensor by tracing the absorption lines of CO and CH4 using 2f-WMS technique at moderate temperature of T ~ 600°C in the recuperator channel of an industrial furnace...

Development of a pulsed quantum cascade laser (QCL)-based spectroscopic trace-gas sensor for sub-part-permillion detection of nitric oxide (NO) and capable of monitoring other molecular species such as CO2, H2O, and NH3 in industrial combustion exhaust systems is reported. Rapid frequency modulation is applied to the QCL to minimize the influence of fluctuating non-selective absorption. A novel...
متن کاملWavelength-modulation-spectroscopy for real-time, in situ NO detection in combustion gases with a 5.2 μm quantum-cascade laser
A mid-infrared absorption strategy with calibration-free wavelength-modulation-spectroscopy (WMS) has been developed and demonstrated for real-time, in situ detection of nitric oxide in particulate-laden combustionexhaust gases up to temperatures of 700 K. An externalcavity quantum-cascade laser (ECQCL) near 5.2 μm accessed the fundamental absorption band of NO, and a wavelength-scanned, 1f -no...
