    (depending on target and background species) at real-time response rates (on the order of 1 second). All SpectraSensors TDL gas analyzers employ the same design and hardware platform. Measuring different trace gases in various mixed hydrocarbon background streams is accomplished by selecting a different optimum diode laser wavelength between 750-3000nm, which provides the least amount of sensitivity to background stream variations.
