Abstract
An optical spectral sensing system that provides a full-range mid-IR FTIR based measurement for gases and vapors. The system features a small interferometer module which is integrated with a sample cell and solid-state source, that has an optimized optical path matched to the intended concentration ranges for the gas/vapor measurements. The concentration ranges targeted are from % level for high targeted gas concentrations, as provided by short-pathlength gas cells, to parts-per-million (ppm) and for certain gases high parts-per-billion (ppb) for low trace targeted gas concentrations, provided by long-pathlength gas cells. The optics and opto-mechanical components selected are able to provide a spectral range of 400 cmto 5000 cm, with nominal spectral resolutions of 4 cmto 16 cm, with the potential to extend the resolution from 2 cmout to 32 cm. The electronics are optimized to support both the range and spectral resolution based the use of a 'universal' mid-IR detector.
