How Laser Falcon Plus works
Laser Falcon Plus utilizes TDLAS technology
TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology uses a tunable diode laser for precise gas analysis. The laser emits a narrow beam of light at a specific wavelength that corresponds to the absorption characteristics of the target gas. When this beam interacts with the gas, some of the light is absorbed by the gas molecules. A sensor then captures the reflected beam, and the concentration of the gas is determined by measuring the intensity of reflected light.

Laser Falcon Plus utilizes TDLAS (Tunable Diode Laser Absorption Spectroscopy) technology. TDLAS uses a laser with a specific wavelength to detect gas by measuring how much light is absorbed as it passes through it. The system then calculates the concentration of the gas based on this absorption.

Why leak detection matters
Continuous methane monitoring is essential not only for safety but also for environmental protection. Methane is one of the most potent greenhouse gases, trapping heat much more efficiently than carbon dioxide. Even small leaks, if undetected, can increase and have a serious impact on the climate. This is why 24/7 monitoring is important: it helps to detect leaks as soon as they occur, prevent dangerous situations and control emissions in accordance with environmental regulations.
FAQ
Honest answers to important questions
No, each device is designed to detect a specific gas. This provides a 100% probability of leak detection of methane and not any other gas.
Laser radiation is completely safe, it corresponds to class 1.
Yes. It is an active device, it emits at a certain narrow wavelength, so it does not need additional signal sources.
No, there is no impact.
No. The detector contains a reference container with methane inside and calibration is performed at each start-up and during operation.
The detector does not need to be verified because it is not a measuring tool.
It works remotely. There is no direct contact with the hazardous environment.
Yes, because glass transmits the near infrared radiation well.
Our company specializes in methane detectors, but at your request we can supply a fully ready-to-use complex. Due to our partnership with UAV manufacturers, we can fully integrate the detector into the UAV design.
