The design of a through-flow laser opto-thermal (OT) detector intended for operationas a selective chromatographic detector in combination with capillary columns isdescribed. The main advantage of such a detector is its relative simplicity and highspatial resolution. A new differential scheme of OT detector which can reduce thebackground signals of scattered radiation by about 10 2 times is suggested. The thresholdsensitivity of OT detector is experimentally estimated to be equal to about 7 ng (ethanol).The higher selectivity of the developed system “gas capillary chromatograph + laser OTspectrometer” has been demonstrated by analyzing a mixture of five atomatic hydrocarbonswith the use of a tunable CO 2 laser. Recommendations for further modificationof the equipment are given.
