Abstract
We report on the development of a field deployable compact laser instrument based on difference frequency generation source operating in the 3–3.6 µm spectral region for trace gas detection of chemical species at the ppb-level. Measurements of benzene vapor concentration have been performed with a minimum detectable concentration of 155 ppb (3σ).
