摘要
A novel instrument that employs a high-finesse optical cavity as an absorption cell has been developed for sensitive measurements of gas mixing ratios using near-infrared diode lasers and absorption spectroscopy techniques. The instrument employs an off-axis trajectory of the laser beam through the cell to yield an effective optical path length of several kilometers without significant unwanted effects due to cavity resonances. As a result, a minimum detectable absorption of similar to1.4x10(-5) over an effective optical path of 4,200 meters was obtained in a 1.1-Hz detection bandwidth to yield a detection sensitivity of similar to3.1x10(-11) cm(-1) Hz-(1/2). The instrument has been applied for measurements of CO, CH4, C2H2, and NH3 in the 1530-1650 nm range, and stable isotopes Of CO2 ((CO2)-C-13, (CO2)-C-12, (COO)-C-12-O-16-O-18) near 2052 nm.
