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 />
