摘要
The development of a continuous-wave (cw) laser difference-frequency generation (DFG) spectrometer is reported. A broadly tunable cw laser-based infrared source was generated from 8 to 19 mu m by laser difference frequency mixing in a gallium selenide (GaSe) crystal. The spectral performance of the DFG spectrometer was evaluated by using the Doppler limited resolution spectrum of benzene in the nu(4) band near 662 cm(-1). High spectral purity and wide tunability make this novel frequency conversion-based infrared source not only a powerful tool for spectroscopy, but also a useful alternative to a semiconductor laser-based detection system for highly sensitive and highly selective measurement of multicomponent trace gas at room temperature operation in the middle infrared region.
