ICYMI....This portable Raman analyzer detects gas leaks from a distance: https://bit.ly/485GxqO
The tech uses a robust enhancement mechanism, where blue pump light and Raman scattered light from hydrogen are reflected multiple times in a multipass cavity to detect very low H2 concentrations. 💡 ⚛️ 🧪
