Aero-Laser VUV
Aero-Laser VUV Resonance Fluorescence Carbon Monoxide Analyzer

The Aero-Laser VUV Resonance Fluorescence Carbon Monoxide Analyzer (Aero-Laser VUV) is an in situ, airborne instrument manufactured by Aero-Laser. It measures carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations by using the principle of resonance fluorescence. The Aero-Laser VUV analyzer operates around 150 nm wavelength and has a typical time resolution of 1 s. It has a detection range of 2 ppbv to 10 ppmv and has an accuracy of around 3%.
