Diode Laser Detection of Greenhouse Gases in the Near-Infrared Region by Wavelength Modulation Spectroscopy: Pressure Dependence of the Detection Sensitivity
We have investigated the pressure dependence of the detection sensitivity of CO(2), N(2)O and CH(4) using wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) with distributed feed-back diode lasers in the near infrared region. The spectral line shapes and the background noise of the second harmonics (2f) detection of the WMS were analyzed theoretically. We determined the optimum pressure conditions in the...
متن کاملFiber-amplifier-enhanced photoacoustic spectroscopy with near-infrared tunable diode lasers.
A new approach to wavelength-modulation photoacoustic spectroscopy is reported, which incorporates diode lasers in the near infrared and optical fiber amplifiers to enhance sensitivity. We demonstrate the technique with ammonia detection, yielding a sensitivity limit less than 6 parts in 10(9), by interrogating a transition near 1532 nm with 500 mW of output power from the fiber amplifier, an o...
متن کاملNear-infrared diode laser airborne hygrometer
We describe a new laser-based hygrometer for ambient water vapor monitoring which uses a fiber-optic coupled, near-infrared diode laser in conjunction with high frequency wavelength modulation spectroscopy. The instrument operates unattended, uses little power, can be extremely compact, and exhibits high detection sensitivity. This instrument was flown on a KC-135 aircraft for a period of six m...
متن کاملTomographic imaging of fluid flows by the use of two-tone frequency-modulation spectroscopy.
Diode laser absorption measurements obtained with two-tone frequency-modulation spectroscopy (TTFMS) are combined with tomography to produce spatially resolved quantitative images of fluid flows. The high sensitivity, good accuracy, and high stability of TTFMS absorption measurements permit optical-absorption tomography to be performed with low noise on extremely weakly absorbing objects. The m...
متن کاملExternal-cavity diode laser using a grazing-incidence diffraction grating.
An external cavity has been developed for use with commercial diode lasers. It uses a diffraction grating at grazing incidence for wavelength selection and output coupling. This configuration allows a GaAlAs diode laser to be tuned conveniently anywhere in a range greater than 20 nm. Also, the linewidth is reduced by a factor of more than 1000 from 40 MHz to less than 10 kHz. The new laser syst...
