Patent CA-2603700-A1 (CA)
Inventor: WILLING BERT
IPC: G01N29/14
Filed: 2007-09-25
Abstract: A gas detection method by using a photo acoustic near-infrared gas sensor with a laser source and such a gas sensor comprising at least one amplitude modulated laser source, a gas chamber for receiving the gas to be detected, a microphone attached to the gas chamber, a photo detector for receiving the laser light after having passed through the gas filled gas chamber, processing means comprising a modulation frequency generator for providing a modulation signal for the at least one laser source and a control means for determining the gas concentration. The laser source changes it output wavelength across each cycle of the amplitude modulation between a minimum wavelength and a maximum wavelength. The result of this measurement scheme is that during each modulation cycle, the laser source scans its complete available wavelength range so that the absorption features of the target gas are levelled out to a mean value. This mean value is relatively insensitive to small variations of the laser's center wavelength; which are introduced by temperature variations.
