| | Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS.com): About TDLAS.com (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-12) |
 | | Until recently, TDLAS for gas analysis was suitable for laboratory use only, requiring highly trained individuals to operate high-maintenance devices and provide expert interpretation of the outputs. |
 | | During the past decade, however, the technology has emerged from the laboratory to become a reliable, robust, and (for selected industrial applications) commercially available means for continuously measuring and, in some cases, controlling extremely small concentrations of selected trace gas species. |
 | | Based on semiconductor laser chips that operate at room temperature and transmit light through optical fibers, TDLAS gas analyzers are attractive for continuous in-situ measurements to monitor and control chemical, combustion, or manufacturing processes in harsh, hazardous, or difficult to access industrial environments. |
