Nikira Labs’ Open-Path Optical Extinction Analyzers (OEAs) are the next generation instruments for visibility and aerosol studies. They measure the optical extinction and visibility in air with unprecedented accuracy. By combining open-path cavity ringdown measurements with a patented self-referencing scheme, the analyzer is able to measure the optical extinction due to ambient aerosols with high precision, minimal sample handling, and little to no drift. The OEA-532 was compared to the Optec NGN-2a Nephelometer in Christman Airfield (Fort Collins, CO). The results showed that the OEA-532 provides much faster data and is able to observe more rapid changes in optical extinction.

The U.S. Energy Information Administration notes that “Natural gas has many qualities that make it an efficient, relatively clean burning, and economical energy source. However, the production and use of natural gas have some environmental and safety issues to consider.” It is the latter that requires sophisticated but easy to use, state-of-the-art but affordable technology.

Optical microscopy is a key technology in many fields from wafer inspection to biology.  By coupling innovate lights sources and powerful algorithms,
