Comparing TDLAS sensing to CRDS
Response time: TDLAS typically offers a faster measurement and response than CRDS, making it more suitable for applications requiring real-time monitoring or rapid detection of changes in moisture levels.
Robust reliability: TDLAS systems have solid designs with simpler optical components compared to CRDS. This contributes to better robustness and reliability, particularly in industrial or harsh environments.
Contamination sensitivity: TDLAS systems are less sensitive to contamination on optical surfaces, whereas CRDS relies heavily on the cleanliness and reflectivity of its mirrors to maintain accuracy.
Wide dynamic range: TDLAS can measure moisture concentrations across a wide dynamic range without sacrificing accuracy, making it versatile for applications with varying moisture levels.
Lower maintenance: The simpler optical setup in TDLAS minimizes alignment and calibration needs over time. CRDS, with its reliance on precise cavity alignment and mirror quality, typically requires more frequent maintenance.
