Open-path active remote sensing instrument

Although the complex setup, the instrument is very easy to operate: Initial light path alignment is performed by the help of an internal field of view camera combined with precise motors. During operation, the software automatically monitors and optimizes the alignment ensuring constant high-quality measurement without relying on user input. The optional motorized telescope base enables automatized measurements on multiple light paths in different directions and/or heights. Calibration gases are not needed since trace gases are quantified along well-defined light paths using literature absorption data. Automated, frequent lamp reference measurements ensure drift-free, long-term operation at highest precision.
