Abstract

We have developed a methane monitoring system using a 1.66 μm distributed-feedback semiconductor laser. The detection limit of the system is 70 ppb m in concentration pathlength product with the time constant of 1 s. This high sensitivity is achieved by the second-harmonic detection of wavelength modulation frequency of the laser whose center wavelength is stabilized on an the absorption line of methane.

The system was installed on a vehicle in combination with a positioning system and a mobile GIS that enabled to record and indicate gas leakage points from buried pipelines on the digital map at the real time.
