BASED ON TDLAS TECHNOLOGY
Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS)
- Every gas absorbs specific wavelengths (frequencies)
of light

- The RMLD laser beam emits a specific wavelength
which is absorbed by methane

- The amount of laser light absorbed is proportional to
the total amount of gas in the path of the laser beam

- Concentration is then expressed as parts-per-million-
metered, or ppm-m. Concentration times plume
width.
TECHNICAL APPROACH
Laser light beam is remotely projected on to a target (e.g., grass, wall,
etc.)
A fraction of the beam is scattered from the target surface and returned
to the source
Returned light is collected and focused onto a detector
The presence of methane is encoded within the returned light
Methane readings are displayed in ppm-m
