An innovative laser-based technique, Continuous Wave Cavity Ring-Down Spectroscopy (CW CRDS) works by attuning light rays to the unique molecular fingerprint of the sample species. By measuring the time it takes the light to the fade or "ring-down", you receive an accurate molecular count in milliseconds. The time of light decay, in essence, provides an exact, non-invasive, and rapid means to detect contaminants in the air, in gases, and even in the breath.
Tiger Optics designs and manufactures dedicated trace gas analyzers and ambient air monitors for a myriad of molecular species and a wide range of matrices, including toxic, corrosive, and hydride gases. These instruments serve an array of markets, from semiconductor fabrication to chemical synthesis to environmental monitoring, and more.
