The MIR wavelength regime promises lower gas detection limits than the NIR or the VIS region due to higher absorption levels as one can read for simulation listed in HITRAN. Methane shows moderate absorbance below 3 μm which results into detection limits in the range of low ppm. IC and QC based lasers emit higher wavelengths, where the absorbances of methane are higher. TDLAS and QEPAS measurements to the trace gas CH4 are shown to display the spectroscopy performance of the different lasers with and without influences from the detector material. In this manuscript only QEPAS measurements will be presented. Scope of this paper is a quantitative comparison of the absorption and QEPAS behaviour of Methane in four important spectral regimes.
