Revolutionizing Gas Leak Detection with Optical Gas Imaging Technology

With the continuous development of economy and society, flammable, explosive and toxic gases have been widely present in every corner of social life as products, raw materials or by-products of industrial production.

Once these gases leak, they will not only pollute the environment, but may also cause poisoning, fire or even explosion accidents, seriously endangering people's lives and property safety.

SensorMicro, building on GUIDE INFRARED's 30+ years of infrared technology leadership, introduces its breakthrough Optical Gas Imaging Detector – transforming how industries visualize, monitor, and respond to invisible gas threats in real-time.

Working Principle of Optical Gas Imaging

Optical gas imaging is a kind of infrared technology that could see invisible industrial gases.

All objects in nature whose temperature is higher than absolute zero (-273.15°C) can emit infrared radiation. The intensity of infrared radiation depends on the target temperature. The infrared thermal camera converts invisible infrared radiation into visible infrared images according to the temperature difference or radiation difference between the target and the background or between various parts of the target.

After absorbing infrared radiation at specific wavelengths, infrared radiation difference will cause between the gas and the background. 

Through selective narrowband window design, our gas leak detection infrared detector enables multispectral imaging across infrared wavelengths that correspond to the characteristic absorption peaks of various gases. This approach allows precise identification and visualization of gas leaks across diverse industrial applications and environmental monitoring scenarios.
