Laser Falcon is a very lightweight laser-type methane gas detector. The dramatically reduced weight of the product allows variety of new applications of the device including airborne methane monitoring and robotic instrumentation. This device can detect methane that exists about 100 meters away instantly. Measurement data is sent through a communication port and is backed up in a micro SD card. Power supply through the external power connector enables continuous operation of the device.

1)Accuracy measurement was performed at a target distance of 2m with a card-board reflector. Standard gas cells with 100ppm-m and 1,000ppm-m column densities were used.
2)Lowest detectable column density increases as detecting distance increases.
