Latest Patents
Alan E DeCew, Jr. holds a patent for a gas detector that includes a receiver configured to receive light from a light source through gas. The light source has a bandwidth on the order of an absorption linewidth of the gas. The receiver features at least a first etalon with a transmission bandwidth that is substantially smaller than the bandwidth of the light source. This gas detector also includes a first detector for detecting light transmitted through the first etalon and a second detector for detecting light reflected from it. A processor determines the quantity of gas based on the detected transmitted and reflected light. The design may also incorporate a second etalon or a beam separator to enhance its functionality.
