A Compact Infrared Gas Sensor Based on an Asymmetry Gas Cavity

Article Preview

Abstract:

Many gas molecules absorb electromagnetic radiation at characteristic wavelengths in the infrared region. This absorption can be used to identify defined substances like CO2, ammoniac, and so far. This study presents a comparative analysis of parameters of infrared radiation source and detector hardware that are most important for the creation of portable optical nondispersive infrared (NDIR) gas sensors. One of the central issues in the design of this kind of sensors is the geometry of the sensor cell. In this paper we investigate an asymmetry sensor cavity and predict the performance using Tracepro software. Then, the CO2 sensor is made and tested.
