Abstract

Spectroscopic gas sensing is becoming popular in wide range of areas including urban and industrial emission, environmental monitoring, chemical and industrial process control, medical diagnostics, homeland security and scientific research. Spectroscopy in the mid-infrared region (MIR, 2.5–25 μm) is attractive due to the strong fundamental ro-vibrational bands and the highly specific molecular signature, which allows both identification and quantification of the molecular species. In this chapter, we introduce the spectroscopic gas sensing systems based on a tunable laser. After a brief overview of the technical background (Sect. 13.1) and the principle of spectroscopy (Sect. 13.2), we discuss the system configurations, including pump suction system, diffusion gas sensors, open path sensing system and spectroscopic imaging systems. Two types of especially distinctive gas sensing, that is, miniaturized hollow waveguide gas sensor and standoff sensing with non-cooperative targets, are reviewed in this section. Recent developments of spectroscopic applications with II–VI lasers are in Sect. 13.4. Section 13.5 gives briefly the conclusion and prospects.
