Abstract
A miniaturized optical carbon-monoxide sensor based on tunable diode laser spectroscopy is presented and tested for various applications. It utilizes recently developed Vertical-Cavity Surface-Emitting Lasers (VCSELs) emitting at 2.3 μm as light source and the photodetector housing as integrated gas reference cell. Together with a wide/narrow spectral scan algorithm for wavelength stabilization, a compact, self-monitored and microcontroller-based sensor is realized. In contrast to conventional line-locking, the full wavelength scale of the spectral scans is inherently calibrated. The achieved sensing resolution (1 sigma) is 3 ppm for 1 second averaging.
