Abstract

We have developed a highly sensitive, compact SO2 gas sensor that uses a PbSnTe laser. To increase its sensitivity, we used wedge-shaped windows that decrease etalon fringes and a SO2 absorption line that is little influenced by water vapor and that has a strong coefficient. The etalon-fringe intensity of the optical system was reduced to 1 x 10-4 and the SO2 absorption line selected is 1380.9 cm-1. To make the sensor compact, we developed single-mode lasers to eliminate the need for a monochromator, used a 30-cm multipath cell with an optical path of 10 m and a liquid-nitrogen-cooled, small metal dewar to cool the laser. The sensor performs stably at 30 ppb over a range of 10°C to 35°C, has a sensitivity of 7 ppb RMS at a fixed temperature, and is 32 cm x 50 cm x 20 cm.
