Commercial NDIR devices commonly rely on incandescent lamp light source and low sensitivity thermal detector, which not only exhibit limited effective emission sensitivity to interact with gas molecules but also possess a low electrical modulation rate due to their inherently slow response times for switching on and off during operation (i.e., <10 Hz). Therefore, this project aims to address the technical limitation of NDIR technology to enhance its gas sensing applications.
