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.

End-to-End Methane Intelligence

Continuously monitor methane across facilities and infrastructure, perform high-confidence periodic inspections, track tank-level emissions, and detect occluded or hard-to-see leaks with precise location and accurate, real-time measurement.

Coherent methane imaging, dramatically higher sensitivity

GeoTeknica is the first to apply Coherent Lightwave Technology (CLT) to spectroscopic methane gas imaging, leveraging frequency, phase, interference, and coherence for superior selectivity.

Telecom-proven tech, now adapted for gas monitoring

Originally pioneered in the 1980s, CLT now dominates optical communications thanks to real-time DSP—setting the stage for a similar leap in emissions monitoring.

Low-cost fiber optics + proprietary DSP = breakthrough instrument

Purpose-built coherent-gas DSP algorithms enable a compact, inexpensive scanning laser spectrometer with unprecedented sensitivity, speed, and versatility.
