Abstract
The broadband photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) technique is proposed and demonstrated for measurement of CH4, CO2, and H2O vapor in the 1.6 to 2.0μm wavelength region. The wide spectrum of a supercontinuum light source is used to cover broadband absorption bands of multiple gas species. This sensor works in the off-resonant frequency of the designed photoacoustic cell and exhibits a wide concentration measurement range of parts per billion by volume (ppb-v) to 100%. The PAS sensor is further tested in real time by measuring the concentration of CO2, CH4, and H2O vapor in biogas plants.
