A resonant single-frequency molecular detector based on adiabatically changing electric field

During last decades many gas sensing mechanisms, based on different physical or chemical interactions with sensitive materials, have been developed, but the problem of precise analysis of gas mixtures still remains. New sensing mechanism has been suggested that is based on an adiabatically changing electric field interacting with the rotational structure of the molecules with dipole moments. A single low frequency gas detector, that can be used for sensing of gas mixtures with high selectivity, accuracy, and sensitivity, has been theoretically demonstrated. The enhancement of the population difference between corresponding molecular levels and reached the theoretical maximum of absorption have been shown.
