Compact Raman spectrometers developed to measure concentrations of hydrogen as low as hundreds of parts per million in air, nitrogen, or other carrier gases. Advantages include speed, dynamic range, and ease of calibration. Design concept incorporates Raman-scattering apparatus into compact instrument of hydrogen leaking into stream of gas or into gas enclosed in small space. Should hydrogen-fueled cars and trucks come into widespread use, instruments used to detect leaks from vehicles and supply equipment, to help prevent explosions. Similar spectrometers developed to detect other gases emitting characteristic Raman spectra.
