An external-cavity diode laser operating at 1500 nm was used to record the combination band of acetylene (C(2)H(2)). By combination of wavelength-modulation spectroscopy with a noise-canceler detection circuit, a minimum detectable absorbance of 4.8 × 10(-4) with a 300-ms time constant was achieved,
A novel mid-infrared/near-infrared double resonant absorption setup for studying infrared-inactive vibrational states is presented. A strong vibrational transition in the mid-infrared region is excited using an idler beam from a singly resonant continuous-wave optical parametric oscillator, to
A trace acetylene (C₂H₂) detection system was demonstrated using the cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) technique and a near-infrared distributed feedback (NIR-DFB) laser. A Fabry⁻Perot (F⁻P) cavity with an effective optical path length of 49.7 m was sealed and employed as a gas
For highly sensitive and accurate acetylene (C2H2) detection, a near-infrared (NIR) off-axis integrated-cavity output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS) sensor system based on an ultra-compact cage-based absorption cell was proposed. The absorption cell with dimensions of 10 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm realized a
A sensitive high-resolution sub-Doppler detecting spectrometer, based on noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne molecular spectrometry (NICE-OHMS), for trace gas detection of species whose transitions have severe spectral overlap with abundant concomitant species is presented. It is
In this paper, a multi-pass retro-reflection-cavity-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy (PAS) based gas sensor is reported for the first time. The multi-pass retro-reflection-cavity consisted of two right-angle prisms and was designed to reflect the laser beam to pass through the photoacoustic (PA)
A spectroscopic analyzer has been developed for rapid, accurate quantification of acetylene and methyl acetylene in hydrocarbon cracked gas processing plants. The system utilizes off-axis integrated output cavity spectroscopy to measure the near-infrared, cavity-enhanced absorption spectrum of
Because of the difficulty in resolving the large variability of N2 fixation with current methods which rely on discrete sampling, the development of new methods for high-resolution measurements is highly desirable. We present a new method for high-frequency measurements of aquatic N2 fixation by
Quantitative detection of small volatile organic compounds in ambient air is demonstrated using a combination of continuous wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy (cw-CRDS) and the preconcentration of air samples with an adsorbent trap. The trap consists of a zeolite molecular sieve, selected for
A pulsed beta-barium borate optical parametric oscillator is injection seeded by cw diode lasers, yielding continuously tunable narrow-band output at its idler wavelength. A notable feature of this optical parametric oscillator is that it comprises a simple passive ring cavity with no active control
A slit nozzle supersonic expansion containing acetylene [492 SCCM (SCCM denotes cubic centimeter per minute at STP)] and carbon dioxide (740 SCCM) seeded into Ar (837 SCCM) is investigated using cw-cavity ring-down spectroscopy, in the 1.5 microm range. The C(2)H(2)-CO(2) van der Waals complex is
The whispering-gallery-mode (WGM) laser is a type of laser that has an exceptionally narrow linewidth. Noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne molecular spectrometry, which is a detection technique with extraordinary properties that benefit from narrow linewidth lasers, has been realized
Phase-shift cavity-enhanced techniques have been used to measure optical losses with relatively simple electronics. Instead of measuring the phase shift, in this work the intensity modulation frequency is varied using feedback to keep the phase shift locked to a target value. The modulation
We demonstrate continuous-wave cavity ring-down spectroscopy of a partially hydrodynamic molecular beam emerging from a buffer-gas-cooling source. Specifically, the (ν1 + ν3) vibrational overtone band of acetylene (C2H2) around 1.5 μm is accessed using a narrow-linewidth diode laser stabilized
A 1542-nm planar-waveguide external cavity laser (PW-ECL) is shown to have a sufficiently low level of noise to be suitable for precision measurement applications. Its frequency noise and intensity noise was comparable or better than the non-planar ring oscillator (NPRO) and fiber laser between 0.1
