Abstract
We present a multi-species trace gas sensor based on a broadband mid-infrared supercontinuum source and a compact home-built Fourier Transform Spectrometer with a balanced detection scheme. The gas sensor provides a spectral resolution of 1 GHz in the wavelength range of 2.4-4.2 µm. Using a global fitting routine, we are able to retrieve the concentrations of different species in complex gas mixtures, achieving detection sensitivities in the order of 100 ppbv.Hz-1/2 (4s measurement time). We used the sensor to measure volatiles from fruit (apples, pears) under storage conditions, demonstrating its potential for monitoring fruit in commercial storage facilities.
