The SpectraSensors Clinic team is working to develop an embedded system for a gas analyzer product line. The analyzers use tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy to detect gases, including moisture, hydrogen sulfide, and carbon dioxide particles, at the scale of parts per million. The success of this project will enable SpectraSensors to replace their existing analog electronic systems with more reliable digital components.
