The unit
can detect, identify and measure a wide range of compounds simultaneously,
within seconds of startup. Analysis is onsite through a continuous sampling path of up to 1000
meters. The system can provide continuous, unattended, near real-time detection
at ppb to percent levels for hundreds of chemicals. Each system includes a
rugged, sealed 0.5cm to1 resolution interferometer equipped with a choice of
beam-splitters and detectors. The analyzer is coupled to a control PC via
standard ribbon cable or long-range fiber optic link. For extended sample
paths, the unit can be mounted to a rugged, 10-inch Newtonian telescope with
tripod. A high-energy infrared source module on the opposite end of the sample
path completes the system. Weighs
approximately 40lbs. and measures 8 inch x 14 inch x 8 inch. The compact
interferometer module is easy to transport and can be powered by a 12V car
battery.
