However, OPSIS also offers an instrument type base on a quite different optical technique – light absorption detected by utilizing a tuneable diode laser. Let’s take a closer look!

Back in the nineteenth century or so, industries pouring out smoke through the stacks were considered signs of progress and prosperity. However, that changed when the effects of the emissions became apparent, including smog, acid rain, and respiratory diseases. Nowadays, the smoke is usually much cleaner thanks to more efficient production processes and flue gas treatment, but there’s still smoke. What’s in it?
