Patent application numberDescriptionPublished
20080232422Laser Radiation Source - A transmitter unit is described for an open path gas detector. The unit comprises: an enclosure having a window; and a coherent radiation transmitter, e.g. a tuneable laser diode transmitter, located within the enclosure and configured to direct a beam of radiation through the window. The window is slanted with respect to the axis of the beam emitted by the transmitter such that no radiation from the transmitter that is directly incident on the window is reflected by the window directly onto the transmitter. Thereby interference fringes within the emitted radiation are reduced. Alternatively, the window may be replaced by a lens followed by an aperture such that the beam emitted by the transmitter is focused onto the aperture, thereby forming a beam of radiation passing out of the enclosure.09-25-2008
20090231588OPTICAL GAS DETECTION - The present invention provides a transmitter unit for an open path gas detector for detecting a target gas and comprises: a radiation transmitter, e.g. a tuneable laser diode, capable of emitting radiation at a wavelength absorbed by the target gas, and a radiation deflector, having a deflecting part and a non-deflecting part, e.g. a mirror having a non-reflective part. The deflecting part and the non-deflecting part are located in the path of the radiation emitted by the transmitter and the non-deflecting part does not deflect the said radiation emitted by the transmitter or does so to a different extent than the deflecting part. In this way, the beam has a core in shadow that can be used to align the beam with a receiver unit. The radiation deflector is preferably a mirror having a reflective surface for reflecting radiation emitted by the transmitter and a non-reflective part that does not reflect the said radiation emitted by the transmitter or does so to a lesser extent that the reflecting surface. The non-reflective part is preferably transparent so that it allows radiation to pass through it, which can be used to measure the wavelength of the transmitter and, if necessary correct it.09-17-2009
