Features and Measurement Theory
The analyzer is a cavity-based spectroscopy instrument. The analyzer’s cavity
design enhances the absorption of laser light by the target gas molecule. This
enhancement improves the signal-to-noise ratio over conventional laser sensors
enabling trace gas measurement and sensitive monitoring. The type of gas the
analyzer can measure is based upon the laser wavelength used. There are various
models, each targeting gases that various industries monitor. All measurements
are real-time.
Main Features
The analyzer’s main features are:
Measurement and processing time up to 10 Hz
Reduced data cross-interference
Sensitivity up to ppb
Connection Ports
This section describes the connections shown in Figure 6. These connections vary
from analyzer to analyzer depending on the ordered configuration.
