| Title: Novel quantum cascade laser based sensor and its application | |
| Abstract: A laser spectroscopy system based on a broadband tunable external cavity quantum cascade laser (ECQCL) and a mini quartz crystal tuning fork (QCTF) detector was developed for standoff detection of volatile organic (VOC) compounds. Based on the self-established spectral analysis model based on multiple algorithms, quantitative and qualitative analysis of VOC components (i.e. ethanol and acetone) was detailedly investigated in both closed cell and open path configurations. A good agreement was obtained between the experimentally observed spectra and the standard reference spectra. For open path detection of VOCs, the sensor system was demonstrated at a distance of 30 m. The preliminary laboratory results show that standoff detection of VOCs at a distance of over 100 m is very promising. | |
| Biography: Dr. Jingsong Li received his PhD degree in Optics from Hefei Institute of Physical Science (HIPS), Chinese Academy of Sciences (CAS), China in 2008. He worked as a Postdoctoral fellowship, Research scientist and Visit scholarship at Reims University (France), Max Planck Institute for Chemistry (Germany), Colorado State University (USA) and Swiss Federal Laboratories for Materials Science and Technology (Switzerland), respectively.
