Ultrafast leak detection of hydrocarbons using a 3.3 #x03BC;m Fabry-Perot quantum cascade laser

摘要

Leak detection of aerosol can propellants by means of optical spectroscopy allows for faster and safer operation, at much lower energy consumption than standard technologies. In this paper we present a Mid-infrared (IR) optical analyzer that has been developed for ultra-fast leak detection of most common aerosol propellants such as propane and butane.
