摘要
We demonstrate a sensor based on tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy for the detection of hydrogen fluoride (HF) gas at ambient pressure. Absorption from the HF R(1) ro-vibrational peak at nu I integral = 4038.962 cm(-1) (2.476 A mu m) in the fundamental (Delta nu = 1) band is measured. A quantitative spectral fit based on HITRAN data is used to account for overlapping spectral peaks of HF and water vapor, with an rms residual noise of 5 x 10(-4) absorbance units. The sensor is optimized for the detection of transient variations in HF concentration. We measure noise-equivalent concentrations for HF of 38 parts-per-trillion by volume (ppt) for 1-s integration times and 2.3 ppt for 10-min integration times.
