Abstract

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) was characterized by ultra-narrow line width laser and wavelength modulation, which makes it possible to scan a single absorption line. TDLAS has an advantage in trace gas analysis for its high resolution, high sensitivity and quick response. The 1626.8 nm absorption line of ethylene was selected for detecting by analyzing its absorption line characteristic. The TDLAS system was developed with a white type multi-pass cell, combined with wavelength modulation and harmonic detection. Ethylene concentration ranges from 20 to 1200 ppmv were tested using this system. The estimated detection limit of the system is 10 ppmv.
