This paper reports the in situ application, for the first time, of simultaneous multispecies, multipoint near-infrared diode laser absorption spectroscopy (NIRDLAS) to the deposition of thin films by atmospheric pressure chemical vapour deposition (APCVD). Hydrogen fluoride as a precursor and hydrogen chloride as a reaction product were detected in tin oxide thin film deposition in a roll-to-roll pilot reactor. The process is commercially important, and we demonstrate results from the application of the technology to the production scale manufacturing process for photovoltaic coatings.
