Sv. Vinogradov et al., PORTABLE GAS ANALYZER-TESTERS FOR DETERMINING THE CONCENTRATION OF IMPURITY GASES IN THE ATMOSPHERE, Journal of optical technology, 65(5), 1998, pp. 375-378
This paper presents a project for creating a family of optical gas-ana
lyzer-testers based on semiconductor optoisolators with multipath opti
cal systems for monitoring impurity gases in the atmosphere with chara
cteristic IR bands in the 2.7-4.7-mu m region. A methane tester that o
perates in the region of the strong IR absorption band of methane near
3.3 mu m is proposed as the basic device. (C) 1998 The Optical Societ
