    摘要: An apparatus for optical gas detection and/or measurement in an absorption spectroscopy system comprising: a gas cell for containing a gas sample or calibration gas with at least one gas exchange port and at least one optical element for allowing transmission of electromagnetic radiation of a desired wavelength range in and out of the gas cell; and at least one source of converging, diverging or collimated electromagnetic radiation for transmitting electromagnetic radiation through a gas sample contained within the gas cell and towards at least one detector; said detector to monitor absorption of electromagnetic radiation for at least one absorption wavelength or wavelength range associated with at least one gas species, by detecting transmitted electromagnetic radiation that is not absorbed; at least one analyser for analysing an output signal from the at least one detector to measure a parameter of at least one gas species within the gas sample, characterised in that at least one dead volume within the spectrometer is filled with a transmissive filler material that reduces or eliminates the presence of at least one undesired gas species.

    摘要: A method of operating an optical device, the method comprising tuning a first emission wavelength of a first output radiation of a laser device continuously within a first wavelength spectrum by modulating a drive current thereof with a first drive current modulation having a frequency of at least 100 kHz. The first wavelength spectrum comprises a first spectral feature associated with at least part of a gas absorption spectrum of at least one gas. The method comprises the steps of modulating the first output radiation of the laser device with a first output modulation, the first output modulation comprising a first plurality of binary pulses, scanning the first wavelength spectrum at a rate of at least 1 μm per second, projecting the first output radiation towards a first target area, receiving scattered radiation from the first target area, and processing the scattered radiation.
