Coherent Lightwave Technology for Methane Gas Imaging
GeoTeknica is the first to harness the power of Coherent Lightwave Technology (CLT) for spectroscopic methane gas imaging. By exploiting the wave nature of light (frequency, phase, interference, coherence) this technology can dramatically increase sensitivity and frequency selectivity compared to conventional approaches.
Although pioneered in the 1980s, CLT has only recently risen to dominate optical communications systems worldwide with the use of real-time DSP. In anticipation of a similar transformation in gas monitoring, GeoTeknica has developed proprietary DSP algorithms specifically for coherent gas detection using low-cost fiber-optic components produced at scale for telecom systems. The result is a compact and inexpensive scanning laser spectrometer capable of unprecedented sensitivity, speed, and versatility.
