Laser Falcon 2 Methane Detector

Laser Falcon 2 is sensitive only to methane, so no false readings of other gases are possible. It is a class 3R eye-safe laser.

The concept is based on Infrared Absorption Spectroscopy.

• The laser emits light (spectral range of 1,65 μm), which reflects back and is captured by the sensor.
• The outgoing and incoming signals are compared with the built-in reference cell.
• If methane is present along the laser path, the laser light is partially absorbed. An algorithm calculates the gas concentration in ppm×m (parts per million multiplied by meter).
• The value is instantly transferred to the remote control (RC) of the drone pilot and to UgCS software.
