Abstract
We report on a newly developed diode-laser spectroscopic system for gas detection in scattering

media. Two pigtailed diode lasers are used, operating in a wavelength modulation scheme, to

simultaneously detect molecular oxygen at 760 nm and water vapour at 935 nm within the tissue

optical window (600 nm to 1.3 μm). Different modulation frequencies are used to distinguish

between the two wavelengths. No crosstalk can be observed between the gas contents of the two gas

channels. The system is made compact by using a computer board and performing software based

lock-in detection. The noise floor obtained corresponds to an absorption fraction of about 6 · 10−5

for both oxygen and... (More)
