Low-volume, fast response-time hollow silica waveguide gas cells for mid-IR spectroscopy.
Hollow silica waveguides (HSWs) are used to produce long path length, low-volume gas cells, and are demonstrated with quantum cascade laser spectroscopy. Absorption measurements are made using the intrapulse technique, which allows measurements to be made across a single laser pulse. Simultaneous laser light and gas coupling is achieved through the modification of commercially available gas fit...
متن کاملMid-IR spectroscopic instrumentation for point-of-care diagnosis using a hollow silica waveguide gas cell
Laser spectroscopy provides the basis of instrumentation developed for the diagnosis of infectious disease, via quantification of organic biomarkers that are produced by associated bacteria. The technology is centred on a multichannel pulsed quantum cascade laser system that allows multiple lasers with different wavelengths to be used simultaneously, each selected to monitor a different diagnos...
متن کاملBroad band and low loss mid-IR flexible hollow waveguides.
This paper introduces a deposition method to create a multilayered waveguide with alternating layers of high index of refraction contrast. A very thin Ag layer, practically transparent in the mid-IR radiation wavelengths of CO(2) and Er-YAG lasers, was created. This enabled a good contrast of the indices of refraction of silver/silver iodide. Theoretical calculations as well as experiments have...
متن کاملWaveguide-enhanced 2D-IR spectroscopy in the gas phase.
A method for obtaining high-quality 2D-IR spectra of gas-phase samples is presented. Time-resolved IR absorption spectroscopy techniques, such as 2D-IR spectroscopy, often require that beams are focused into the sample. This limits the exploitable overlapped path length through samples to a few millimeters. To circumvent this limitation, 2D-IR experiments have been performed within a hollow wav...
متن کاملGeneration of Coherent, Broadband X-Ray and Mid-IR Pulses in a Noble-Gas-Filled Hollow Waveguide
We discuss a proposed experiment on guiding of a high-repetition rate, 20 GW, CO2 laser beam in a gas-filled hollow glass waveguide. Extended interaction of the 3ps pulses with a gas Kerr medium will be used for measurements of nonlinearity at 10 um, and supercontinuum generation followed by pulse compression. Feasibility of 3-5 keV X-ray production via HHG is presented.
