Compact mid-infrared trace gas detection system based on TDLAS and ICL
Two compact Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS) sensor systems were developed based on different structural optical cores. The two optical cores combine two recent developments; gallium antimonide (GaSb)-based ICL and a compact multipass gas cell (MPC)
with the aim of developing a compact TDLAS-based sensor for mid-IR gas detection with high detection sensitivity and low power consumption. The two-floor structure sensor was used for methane (CH
4
) measurements and the single-floor structure sensor was used for formaldehyde (CH
2
O) concentration measurements
with the two optical sensor cores consuming 3.7 W of power. Detection limits of~5 nL/L and~3 nL/L with measurement precisions of~1.4 nL/L and~1 nL/L were achieved for CH
4
and CH
2
O concentration measurements
respectively. In addition
the two-structure system was used for CH

and C

detection under the same conditions over a period of 66 h campus. The results show that the sensors worked steadily and effectively. They can satisfy the system requirements of non-contact

and rapid signal acquisition
as well as strong anti-jamming and high stability.
