Abstract

There is a multibillion-dollar market for gas monitoring and the demand for solutions continues to grow. Managing methane leaks is critical for energy operations, monitoring nitrogen species in agriculture has ramifications for crop health, and toxic gases in multiple industries can create hazardous working conditions. Many systems rely on optical techniques, light sources and photonic detectors working together to produce measurements. When considering the wavelengths to utilize, operating in the mid-infrared region presents advantages such as higher sensitivity, longer lifetimes, and more consistent measurements. Components have been known to be expensive and difficult to integrate but recent developments present new opportunities. This presentation will cover the basic principles of photonic gas measurements, the state of current and future mid-infrared components, and the science behind the benefits of mid-infrared for gas analysis.
