Lasing Dye Sensor for Chemical Vapors.

Abstract

In a lasing dye sensor system, a stream of lasing dye free-flows across an area open to the atmosphere. A chemical reaction between contaminants in the atmosphere and the lasing dye result in the change of emission spectra of the lasing dye. The change in emission spectra is detected and provides an improved apparatus and method for detecting low concentrations of chemical vapors in the atmosphere. Patent application. (MJM)
