Prototype sensors for OH, NO and CO have been set up at Texas A&M University. The Texas sensor for NO has been successfully tested with practical engines.
The NO sensor here in Darmstadt has been successfully combined with a LabView interface, which automatically acquires the data, and performs the data analysis. Long term measurements of up to 6 hours have been successfully performed. Currently, our goals are
- improving the sensitivity of the sensor
extending the mode-hop free tuning range of the ECDL diode laser
- new applications for this type of sensor
