1 Kilometer Open Path Multiple Reflection System Applied in Atmospheric FTIR Trace Gas Analysis
Galle, Bo; Johan Mellqvist, Swedish Environmental Research Inst (IVL), Goteborg, Sweden. Doktorsavhandlingar vid Chalmers Tekniska Hogskola, No 1522, 16 pp, 1999

An open path multiple reflection system with a 1 km optical path over a physical path of 25 m was constructed and adapted to a medium resolution FTIR spectrometer. The system can detect mixing ratios down to 10-9 for specific atmospheric constituents for trace gas emission monitoring. The system has been applied in field experiments to studies of biogenic trace gas emissions, industrial fugitive emission monitoring, and industrial hygiene measurements. The system is easy to set up and align and operates effectively under severe environmental conditions.
