all national electrotechnical committees (IEC National Committees). The object of IEC is to promote
international co-operation on all questions concerning standardization in the electrical and electronic fields. To
this end and in addition to other activities, IEC publishes International Standards, Technical Specifications,
Technical Reports, Publicly Available Specifications (PAS) and Guides (hereafter referred to as “IEC
Publication(s)”). Their preparation is entrusted to technical committees; any IEC National Committee interested
in the subject dealt with may participate in this preparatory work. International, governmental and non-
governmental organizations liaising with the IEC also participate in this preparation. IEC collaborates closely
with the International Organization for Standardization (ISO) in accordance with conditions determined by
agreement between the two organizations.
2) The formal decisions or agreements of IEC on technical matters express, as nearly as possible, an international
consensus of opinion on the relevant subjects since each technical committee has representation from all
interested IEC National Committees.
3) IEC Publications have the form of recommendations for international use and are accepted by IEC National
Committees in that sense. While all reasonable efforts are made to ensure that the technical content of IEC
Publications is accurate, IEC cannot be held responsible for the way in which they are used or for any
misinterpretation by any end user.
4) In order to promote international uniformity, IEC National Committees undertake to apply IEC Publications
transparently to the maximum extent possible in their national and regional publications. Any divergence
between any IEC Publication and the corresponding national or regional publication shall be clearly indicated in
the latter.
5) IEC itself does not provide any attestation of conformity. Independent certification bodies provide conformity
assessment services and, in some areas, access to IEC marks of conformity. IEC is not responsible for any
services carried out by independent certification bodies.
6) All users should ensure that they have the latest edition of this publication.

INTRODUCTION
This part of IEC 61207 includes the terminology, definitions, statements and tests that are
specific to tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzers, which utilize tuneable semiconductor
laser absorption spectroscopy (TSLAS).
Tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzers utilize tuneable semiconductor lasers (e.g. diode
lasers, quantum cascade lasers, interband cascade lasers) as light sources, whose
wavelength covers ultraviolet, visible and infrared part of the electromagnetic spectrum, to
detect the absorption spectra and thus determine the concentration of gases to be analyzed.
These analyzers may employ different TSLAS techniques such as direct absorption
spectroscopy, frequency modulation spectroscopy (FMS), wavelength modulation
spectroscopy (WMS), etc. Multi-pass absorption spectroscopy, photoacoustic spectroscopy
(PAS), and cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) such as cavity-ringdown
spectroscopy (CRDS) are also used to take advantage of their high detection sensitivity.
Tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzers are usually used to measure concentration of
small molecule gases, such as oxygen, carbon monoxide, carbon dioxide, hydrogen sulfide,
ammonia, hydrogen fluoride, hydrogen chloride, nitrogen dioxide, water vapour etc.
There are two main types of tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzers: extractive and in
situ analyzers. The extractive analyzers measure the sample gas withdrawn from a process or
air by a sample handling system. The in situ analyzers measure the gas in its original place,
including across-duct, probe and open-path types. Across-duct analyzers either have a laser
source and a detector mounted on opposite sides of a duct, or both the laser and the detector
are mounted on the same side and a retroreflector on the opposite side of a duct. Probe
analyzers comprise a probe mounted into the duct, and the measured gas either passes
through or diffuses into the measuring optical path inside the probe. And open-path analyzers
measure the gas in an open environment with a hardware approach similar to across duct
analyzers (source and detector on opposite sides of the open area or a retroreflector on one
side and the source and detector on the opposite side), except the sample is in an open path
and not contained in a duct.
NOTE 1 Traditionally, only diode lasers were employed, and thus tuneable diode laser gas analyzers and
tuneable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) are widely used terms. However, with the development of
laser technology, many other types of semiconductor lasers, such as quantum cascade lasers (QCLs) and
interband cascade lasers (ICLs) have been developed and employed in laser gas analyzers. Therefore, the term of
semiconductor laser rather than diode laser is used in this standard to reflect this technology advancement.
NOTE 2 Though tuneable semiconductor laser photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) is in principle different from
absorption spectroscopy typically used in tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzers, the hardware and data
reduction software are almost the same for analyzers utilizing these two spectroscopy technologies, and thus PAS
is considered a variant of absorption spectroscopy and this standard also applies to the analyzers based on PAS.

solid-state laser, in which the semiconductor material is used as active media
3.2
diode laser
semiconductor laser which is formed from a p-n junction and powered by injected electric
current
3.3
quantum cascade laser
semiconductor laser whose laser emission is achieved through the use of intersubband
transitions in a repeated stack of semiconductor multiple quantum structure, and typically
emits in the mid- to far-infrared portion of the electromagnetic spectrum
3.4
interband cascade laser
semiconductor laser whose laser emission is achieved through the use of interband
transitions between electrons and holes in a repeated stack of semiconductor multiple
quantum structure, but, instead of losing an electron to the valence band, the valence electron
can tunnel into the conduction band of the next quantum structure, and this process can be
repeated throughout the multiple quantum structure
3.5
extractive analyzer
analyzer which receives and analyzes a continuous stream of gas withdrawn from a process
by a sample handling system
3.6
in situ analyzer
analyzer which measures the gas in its original place, including across-duct, probe and open-
path types
3.7
tuneable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy
TSLAS
spectroscopy which utilizes a tuneable semiconductor laser as radiation source, tunes the
emission wavelength of the laser over the characteristic absorption lines of measured species
in the laser beam path, detects the reduction of the measured signal intensity, and then
determines the gas concentration
3.8
tuneable semiconductor laser gas analyzer
gas analyzer which utilizes TSLAS to measure the concentration of one or more gas
components in a gaseous mixture or vapour
3.9
wavelength modulation spectroscopy
laser gas absorption spectroscopy, in which the wavelength of the laser beam is continuously
modulated across the absorption line and the signal is detected at a harmonic of the
modulation frequency
Note 1 to entry: Wavelength modulation spectroscopy utilizes a modulation frequency which is less than the half-
width frequency of the transition lineshape.

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST EN 61207-7:2014
– 8 – 61207-7  IEC:2013
3.10
frequency modulation spectroscopy
spectroscopy that uses a modulation frequency larger than the half-width frequency of the
transition lineshape which results in a pair of sidebands separated from the carrier by the
modulation frequency

signal which can be detected by a high speed photodetector.
3.11
cavity enhanced absorption spectroscopy
spectroscopy which utilizes the resonance of laser beam in high-finesse optical cavity to
prolong the effective path lengths
3.12
photoacoustic spectroscopy
spectroscopy which is based on the photoacoustic effect
Note 1 to entry: The acoustic effect is the energy from the laser beam transformed into kinetic energy of the
absorbing gas molecules. This results in local heating and thus a pressure wave or sound. By measuring the sound
intensity, the gas concentration can be determined.
3.13
multi-pass absorption spectroscopy
absorption spectroscopy utilizing a multi-pass gas cell, in which the reflected laser beam
passes through the gas multi-times to increase optical path length
3.14
transmittance

safety design for use and implementation of lasers to minimise the risk of laser accidents,
especially those involving eye injuries
3.25
optical interference noise
interference fringes generated through multiple beam interferences between optical surfaces
within the coherent light source and the detector
Note 1 to entry: Interference fringes cause oscillation of the photocurrent during wavelength scanning. This
oscillation results in noise added to the absorption signal.
3.26
interfering components
components which interfere with the measurement of target species
Note 1 to entry: These interfering components include not only optically absorbing species by the fact that the
absorbance spectrum overlaps to the target species, but also non-optically absorbing species by line broadening of
the target species. (this can make stating/determining the measurement accuracy difficult).
Note 2 to entry: Namely, shape of optical absorbance spectrum of target species to be measured can be changed
itself significantly by change of background gas composition.
