Spectroscopy of methane using a vertical cavity surface-emitting laser system with emphasis on development for portable applications

There is a great deal of interest in monitoring atmospheric greenhouse gases such as methane. Although distributed feedback edge-emitting lasers are often used for atmospheric detection, the development of the vertical cavity surface-emitting laser (VCSEL) has allowed for an alternative source. The...
