MEASURING AIR QUALITY USING A MICRO-OPTICAL MECHANICAL GAS SENSOR |
摘要 |
A system and method for measuring air quality using a micro-optical mechanical gas sensor is disclosed. The system includes an emission source that includes a conduit gap for receiving a gas; a plurality of electrodes for applying an electric field to at least a portion of the conduit gap, the application of the electric field creating a plasma in the conduit gap; and a detector that detects an emission from the plasma. The method includes the steps of (1) placing a chip containing an emission source and a detector in a gas flow; (2) applying an electric field to at least a portion of a conduit gap within the emission source, the electric field creating a plasma; (3) detecting an emission from the plasma; and (4) processing data related to the detected emission to determine at least one constituent of the gas flow. |
