Abstract: Gas cells and systems for absorption spectroscopy, and methods thereof. The method involves providing a channel with an inlet for receiving a gas sample and an outlet for releasing the gas sample from the gas cell; providing first and second end components with an optically transparent portion, each of the end components is configured to minimize a difference between a temperature of the optically transparent portions and an internal temperature of the channel; mounting the first end component the channel so that the optically transparent portion is positioned for receiving an incident beam into the channel; and mounting the second end component to the channel opposite from the first end component so that the optically transparent portion is positioned for permitting optical transmission into and out of the channel.

Abstract: The present invention relates to a method and apparatus for detecting transitions between different gas or liquid products in a flow path and, more particularly, it relates to an apparatus and method utilizing Raman spectroscopy for detecting transitions between petroleum products. A Raman spectrometer is preferably to produce a monochromatic excitation beam at a wavelength of approximately 670 nm. The spectrometer consists of an entrance slit, a combined diffraction grating/focussing element, and an exit slit. The Raman signal, which exits the spectrometer exit slit is detected by a highly sensitive photomultiplier tube, and sent to a computer device for data acquisition and analysis. The proposed invention detects liquid or gas products in a flow path by detecting the changes in the composition of various petroleum products flowing through a gasoline pipeline, by means of exposing samples of various petroleum products to the Raman spectrometer system.

Abstract: A gas cell assembly and applications of the gas cell assembly in absorption spectroscopy. An example gas cell assembly includes a gas cell body with an inlet for receiving a gas sample from a gas source; a first and a second end portions that allow optical transmission into and out of the body, the second end portion being substantially opposite from the first end portion; and a channel providing a path for the gas sample and optical beam(s) between the first end portion and the second end portion. The gas cell assembly also includes reflective surfaces outside the body to receive versions of the optical beams from the body and to reflect each version of the incident beam towards the body. A detector, then, receives a last reflected beam and transmits a corresponding data signal to a processing unit for analyzing the gas sample based on the data signal.
