Abstract
We describe a handheld, battery-powered near-IR tunable diode laser sensor that employs Frequency Modulation (FM) spectroscopy and passive backscatter from the environment. Specifically, the detection of methane from buried residential natural gas lines using a 1.65 micron laser is analyzed.
