Mid-infrared dual-gas sensor for simultaneous detection of methane and ethane using a single continuous-wave interband cascade laser

Journal Article Ye, Weilin ; Li, Chunguang ; Zheng, Chuantao ; ... - Optics Express

A continuous-wave (CW) interband cascade laser (ICL) based mid-infrared sensor system was demonstrated for simultaneous detection of atmospheric methane (CH₄) and ethane (C₂H₆). A 3.337 µm CW ICL with an emitting wavenumber range of 2996.0–3001.5 cm^–1 was used to simultaneously target two absorption lines, C₂H₆ at 2996.88 cm^–1 and CH₄ at 2999.06 cm^–1, respectively. The sensor performance was first evaluated for single-gas detection by only targeting the absorption line of one gas species. Allan deviations of 11.2 parts per billion in volume (ppbv) for CH₄ and 1.86 ppbv for C₂H₆ with an averaging time of 3.4 s were achieved formore »« less

Thermal effects of an ICL-based mid-infrared CH₄ sensor within a wide atmospheric temperature range

Journal Article Ye, Weilin ; Zheng, Chuantao ; Sanchez, Nancy P. ; ... - Infrared Physics and Technology

Here, thermal effects of an interband cascade laser (ICL) based mid-infrared methane (CH₄) sensor that uses long-path absorption spectroscopy were studied. The sensor performance in the laboratory at a constant temperature of ~ 25°C was measured for 5 hours and its Allan deviation was ~ 2 ppbv with a 1 s averaging time. A LabVIEW-based simulation program was developed to study thermal effects on infrared absorption and a temperature compensation technique was developed to control such effects. An environmental test chamber was employed to investigate thermal effects that occur in the sensor system with variation of the test chamber temperaturemore »« less

Compact TDLAS based sensor design using interband cascade lasers for mid-IR trace gas sensing

Journal Article Dong, Lei ; Tittel, Frank K. ; Li, Chunguang ; ... - Optics Express

Two compact TDLAS sensor systems based on different structural optical cores were developed. The two optical cores combine two recent developments, gallium antimonide (GaSb)-based ICL and a compact multipass gas cell (MPGC) with the goal to create compact TDLAS based sensors for the mid-IR gas detection with high detection sensitivity and low power consumption. The sensors achieved minimum detection limits of ~5 ppbv and ~8 ppbv, respectively, for CH₄ and C₂H₆ concentration measurements with a 3.7-W power consumption.

Ppb-level mid-infrared ethane detection based on three measurement schemes using a 3.34-μm continuous-wave interband cascade laser

Journal Article Li, Chunguang ; Zheng, Chuantao ; Dong, Lei ; ... - Applied Physics. B, Lasers and Optics

A ppb-level mid-infrared ethane (C₂H₆) sensor was developed using a continuous-wave, thermoelectrically cooled, distributed feedback interband cascade laser emitting at 3.34 μm and a miniature dense patterned multipass gas cell with a 54.6-m optical path length. The performance of the sensor was investigated using two different techniques based on the tunable interband cascade laser: direct absorption spectroscopy (DAS) and second-harmonic wavelength modulation spectroscopy (2f-WMS). Three measurement schemes, DAS, WMS and quasi-simultaneous DAS and WMS, were realized based on the same optical sensor core. A detection limit of ~7.92 ppbv with a precision of ±30 ppbv for the separate DAS schememore »« less
