laser spectrometer. BD – balanced detector, DFB-DL – distributed<br />

feedback diode laser<br />

•Based on near-IR absorption spectroscopy<br />

• Detection limit: 0.1 ppmv<br />

•Response time ~ 2 sec<br />

•Expandable to multispecies detection at<br />

roughly $5000/component<br />

Limitations:<br />

•Susceptible to absorption interferences,<br />

especially water vapor<br />

•High resolution spectroscopy unknown <strong>for</strong><br />

most species<br />

Multipass pattern<br />

observed on 2” mirror<br />

using 660 nm alignment<br />

laser. Effective pathlength<br />

~ 49 meters.<br />
