This SBIR Phase I project will develop an improved Open-Path FTIR Spectrometer for monitoring of atmospheric gases over extended distances. This will be achieved by developing a high-brightness infrared source that is heated to 2000 K by means of a diode laser. This will enable the instrument to be less bulky and expensive, and will have improved monitoring range over current systems.The broader/commercial impact of the project will be to provide a solution that will reduce several limitations that are found in current OP-FTIR technologies, namely, elevated capital costs, size, power requirement, and/or sensitivity. The approach will broaden the use OP-FTIR for monitoring atmospheric gases by EPA and ASTM methods, and these benefits may help implement this technology and make it applicable for other applications such as closed path FTIR systems.

该 SBIR 第一阶段项目将开发一种改进的开放路径 FTIR 光谱仪，用于长距离监测大气气体。 这将通过开发一种通过二极管激光器加热至 2000 K 的高亮度红外源来实现。 这将使仪器体积更小、成本更低，并且比当前系统具有更大的监测范围。该项目更广泛/商业的影响将是提供一种解决方案，减少当前 OP-FTIR 技术中存在的一些限制，即增加资本成本、规模、功率要求和/或敏感性。 该方法将扩大 OP-FTIR 通过 EPA 和 ASTM 方法监测大气气体的用途，这些好处可能有助于实施该技术并使其适用于其他应用，例如闭路 FTIR 系统。
