Abstract

Recent advances in the development of sensors based on infrared diode and quantum cascade lasers for the detection of trace gas species is reported. Several examples of applications in environmental and industrial process monitoring as well as in medical diagnostics using quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy and laser absorption spectroscopy will be described. Keywords: Trace gas detection, near infrared diode lasers, mid infrared quantum and interband cascade lasers, quartz enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy, laser absorption spectroscopy.
