Development of a breadboard CO2 laser photoacoustic toxic vapor monitor. Project summary

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:5945072
; ; ; ;
The report describes the development of a breadboard version of CO2 laser photoacoustic detector. The CO2 laser photoacoustic technique has been demonstrated to be capable of detecting, with high specificity, a variety of toxic compounds a low parts-per-billion (ppb) levels in multicomponent air samples. The technique can be used for monitoring trace levels of various hazardous compounds in ambient air samples.
