Abstract

A laser gas analyzer has been designed for determining the composition of exhaled air by means of photoacoustic spectroscopy. The analyzer, based on a broadband optical parametric oscillator and photoacoustic detector, provides high-precision rapid analysis of the multicomponent composition of human exhaled air for dynamic estimation of the efficiency of treating bronchus and lung diseases.
