High-spectral-resolution terahertz imaging with a quantum-cascade laser.
We report on a high-spectral-resolution terahertz imaging system operating with a multi-mode quantum-cascade laser (QCL), a fast scanning mirror, and a sensitive Ge:Ga detector. By tuning the frequency of the QCL, several spectra can be recorded in 1.5 s during the scan through a gas cell filled with methanol (CH3OH). These experiments yield information about the local absorption and...
متن کاملSensitive absorption spectroscopy with a room-temperature distributed-feedback quantum-cascade laser.
We report what we believe are the first spectroscopic measurements to be made with a room-temperature quantum-cascade distributed-feedback laser. Using wavelength modulation spectroscopy, we detected N(2)O and CH(4) in the chemical fingerprint wavelength range near 8microm . The noise equivalent absorbance for our measurement was 5 parts in 10(5), limited by excess amplitude modulation on the l...

A continuous wave cavity ringdown spectrometer with a Fabry-Perot quantum cascade laser has beenused to collect a rotationally-resolved infrared spectrum of them8 vibrational band of methylene bromidein a slit nozzle expansion. In our laboratory, previous observations of the vibrational band were limitedby spectral coverage to only the P and Q-branches and by the 24 MHz step-siz...
متن کاملTrace-gas detection in ambient air with a thermoelectrically cooled, pulsed quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser.
A pulsed quantum-cascade distributed feedback laser operating at near room temperature was used for sensitive high-resolution IR absorption spectroscopy of ambient air at a wavelength of approximately 8 microm. Near-transform-limited laser pulses were obtained owing to short (approximately 5-ns) current pulse excitation and optimized electrical coupling. Fast and slow computer-controlled freque...
متن کاملPhotoacoustic spectroscopy with quantum cascade distributed-feedback lasers.
We present photoacoustic (PA) spectroscopy measurements of carbon dioxide, methanol, and ammonia. The light source for the excitation was a single-mode quantum cascade distributed-feedback laser, which was operated in pulsed mode at moderate duty cycle and slightly below room temperature. Temperature tuning resulted in a typical wavelength range of 3cm(-1)at a linewidth of 0.2cm(-1). The setup ...
