Aero-Laser VUV
Aero-Laser VUV Resonance Fluorescence Carbon Monoxide Analyzer

The Aero-Laser VUV Resonance Fluorescence Carbon Monoxide Analyzer (Aero-Laser VUV) is an in situ, airborne instrument made by Aero-Laser. It detects carbon monoxide (CO) concentrations using resonance fluorescence. The Aero-Laser VUV operates around a wavelength of 150 nm and typically provides a temporal resolution of 1 second. It has a detection range from 2 ppbv to 10 ppmv and an accuracy of approximately 3%.
