Abstract
Nitrous oxide (N₂O) is the third-most problematic greenhouse gas and the leading ozone-depleting gas emitted by human activities. Understanding N₂O emissions is vital for climate modeling and reducing agriculture emissions, yet existing monitoring technologies are expensive, time consuming, or limited in spatial and temporal resolution. This work presents a novel design and preliminary testing for a low-cost, adjustable-precision N₂O sensor based on non-dispersive infrared (NDIR) spectroscopy. This sensor is the first NDIR sensor to use an adjustable optical path length for N₂O, allowing for measurements in diverse conditions.
