Monitoring the emission of gases is difficult to achieve in industrial sites and in environments presenting poor infrastructures. Hence, robust methodologies should be developed and coupled to Lidar technology to allow remote sensing of gas emission. OSAS is a new methodology to evaluate gas concentration emission from spectrally integrated differential absorption measurements. Proof of concept of OSAS-Lidar for CH4 emission monitoring is here presented.

We report updated infrared (IR) absorption measurements on vapor-deposited cryogenic parahydrogen (pH2) solids that indicate a ≈10% systematic error in our previous approach for determining a pH2 solid's thickness (S. Tam and M.E. Fajardo. Appl. Spectrosc. 2001. 55(12): 1634-1644). We provide corrected values for the integrated absorption intensities of the Q1(0)+S0(0) and S1(0)+S0(0) bands calculated over the 4495–4520 cm−1 and 4825–4855 cm−1 regions, respectively. New polarized IR absorption spectroscopy data demonstrate the insensitivity to polarization effects of the peak intensity of the QR(0) phonon sideband near 4228 cm−1. This feature provides an even quicker way for determining the thickness of a pH2 solid than via the integrated absorptions.

Abstract We describe an all−in−fibre apparatus for Constant Intensity Direct Absorption Spectroscopy (CIDAS) for gas concentration measurements which keeps the power of a diode laser constant along the frequency sweep. The reduction of the large variation of the laser power, connected to the frequency scan, enhances the ability of detecting small variations in a background signal, resulting in an increase of the sensitivity with respect to standard direct absorption techniques. Moreover, CIDAS allows for a real−time observation of the absorption signals without any kind of post−detection processing. The apparatus has been tested with carbon dioxide (CO

This report describes an optical system for microspectrophotometry in a single cardiac cell from which the sarcolemma has been removed by microdissection (skinned cardiac cell). This system is attached to the high power inverted microscope used for the microdissection and includes (a) a single variable wavelength microspectrophotometer used to define the spectrum of a given dye or Ca2+ probe; and (b) a dual wavelength, differential microspectrophotometer used to record differentially between the optimum wavelength and a wavelength separated by 25–30 nm. Results are presented using the following optical methods: (a) fluorescence measurements with chlorotetracycline to monitor the amount of Ca2+ bound to the inner face of the sarcoplasmic reticulum (SR) membrane; (b) differential absorption measurements with arsenazo III to measure changes of myoplasmic [Ca2+]free resulting from Ca2+ release from the SR; (c) fluorescence and (or) differential absorption measurements with the potential-sensitive dyes merocyanine 540, NK 2367, and di-S-C3(5) to monitor changes of charge distribution on the SR membrane during Ca2+ accumulation in the SR, as well as before and during Ca2+-induced release of Ca2+ from the SR. A small and rapid signal is observed which precedes the Ca2+-induced release of Ca2+ from the SR. It is detected as an increase of Ca2+ binding inside the SR with chlorotetracycline and as a "hyperpolarization" with potential-sensitive dyes, while no transient change of myoplasmic [Ca2+]free is detected with arsenazo III. This small and rapid signal preceding the Ca2+ release may be a first hint to an understanding of the mechanism whereby a small increase of [Ca2+]free outside the SR triggers Ca2+ release from the SR.

Diode Laser Absorption

Tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology is adopted herein to detect fire gas produced in the early stage of the fire. Based on this technology, a fire warning detection system with multiple lasers and detectors is proposed. Multiple drivers input laser’s temperature and injected current data, making its output wavelength consistent with the measured gas’ absorption peak wavelengths in absorption spectroscopy. Multiple light beams are coupled to the same optical fiber. After the light beams pass through the long optical path absorption cell filled with fire gas, the beams are separated by a converter. The signals are demodulated by different detectors and further analyzed for fire warnings. After the fire warning system’s design, the system’s various hardware modules are designed, including the light source module, TDLAS controller, gas chamber module, photoelectric detector, and data collection. When the temperature remains unchanged, the output wavelength is linearly related to the injected current. When the injected current remains unchanged, the output wavelength is linearly related to the operating temperature. With a semiconductor laser’s injected current of 40 mA, the initial temperature of 38.6 °C, and the output wavelength of 1578.16 nm, the output wavelength increases continuously as the temperature increases. The harmonic signal amplitude after gas absorption is positively correlated with the measured gas concentration, indicating that the second harmonic signals can estimate the fire gas concentration.

Gas emission happens after coal and gas outburst, and it could cause secondary disasters in the roadway. Therefore it is necessary to research gas concentration distribution law in the roadway after coal and gas outburst, and theoretical basis for avoiding the occurrence of secondary disasters could be provided. Based on the above, Fluent is used to simulate gas concentration distribution law in the roadway during outburst. The research results show that gas velocity of the initial stage is larger in the whole process of gas outburst and gas emission impacts opposite walls in the form of jet in the roadway intersection. The flow changes direction and moves along the main airway and return airway. It produces countercurrent along the main airway. Because the pressure in the main airway is high, gas migration velocity becomes zero after a certain distance and is "back" to return airway. The higher the outburst velocity is, the longer the flow length is. Gas concentration variation with two kinds of different outburst intensities and position are regressed and it shows that correlation coefficients of power function are the highest. The research results have a certain theoretical value to prevent the occurrence of secondary disasters after coal and gas outburst.
