FT-IR and quantum cascade laser spectroscopy towards a hand-held trace gas sensor for benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX)

The work described herein focuses on FT-IR and quantum cascade laser (QCL) based studies towards the development of compact and portable trace gas sensor for benzene, toluene, and xylenes (BTX). FT-IR broadband radiation was used to probe the mid-infrared fingerprint region for quantitatively detect...
