Laser Series Gas Analyzers and Their Market Prospects

The laser gas analyzer uses a semiconductor laser as the light source and uses TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy, tunable semiconductor laser absorption spectroscopy) technology to modulate the signal.

Semiconductor lasers are small in size, light in weight, long in life, high in efficiency, and do not require high-voltage power supply. These characteristics make semiconductor lasers the most widely used lasers in industry.

There are many types of process analytical instruments, classified according to the type of analyte and the technique used to analyze the element. Laser-based gas analyzers are a type of analytical instrument that utilize a laser source to determine the type and amount of elements in the gas phase. Instruments such as Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy (TDLAS), Raman Analyzers, and Cavity Ring Attenuation Spectrometers are some of the key laser-based gas analyzers widely used in the industry.

Currently, laser gas analyzers on the market mainly use Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectrometer (TDLAS) technology. TDLAS technology is essentially a spectral absorption technology that obtains the concentration of gas by analyzing the selective absorption of laser by gas. It differs from traditional infrared spectrum absorption technology in that the semiconductor laser spectrum width is much smaller than the broadening of the gas absorption spectrum line.

1. In-situ type

The laser gas analyzer uses in-situ (or in-line) measurement technology to measure directly on the process pipeline under test. Different from traditional extraction gas analysis, in-situ analysis does not require sampling pipelines to extract and transport sample gas, nor does it require sample preprocessing. In this way, the basic configuration of the laser analyzer is much simpler than that of the extraction analyzer.

2. Extractive type

When applying traditional extraction gas analyzers, it is necessary to understand the composition of the medium to be measured and consider the possible mutual interference between the components, so as to judge and select the appropriate type of analyzer. The wavelength of the laser emitted by the laser gas analyzer is precisely modulated to equal the absorption line of a specific gas. The monochromatic laser emitted is only selectively absorbed by specific components with specific absorption lines within the scanning spectral range. There is no any trace during the measurement process. cross interference. Relatively higher accuracy than traditional analysis methods.

According to statistics and forecasts from QYR (Hengzhou Bozhi), the global laser gas analyzer market sales will reach US$472.49 million in 2021, and are expected to reach US$672.36 million in 2028, with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.66% (2022-2028). From a regional perspective, the Chinese market has changed rapidly in the past few years. The market size in 2021 will be US$134.80 million, accounting for approximately 28.53% of the global market. It is expected to reach US$200.21 million in 2028, when the global share will reach 29.78% .

At the consumption level, China is currently the world’s largest consumer market, accounting for 28.53% of the market share in 2021, followed by Europe and North America, accounting for 22.71% and 21.75% respectively.
