Phase shift cavity ring down absorption spectroscopy
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cavity ring down absorption spectroscopy with a continuous light souree is used to measure the transition frequencies and absolute absorption coefficient of the weak b ItCv' = 2) +--X I;-Cv" = 0) transition of 02. The absorption spectrum is extracted from a measurement of the magnitude of the phase shift that an intensity modulated continuous light beam experiences upon passing through an unstabilized optica! cavity.

Simultaneous measurement of quality factor and wavelength shift by phase shift microcavity ring down spectroscopy.
Optical resonant microcavities with ultra high quality factors are widely used for biosensing. Until now, the primary method of detection has been based upon tracking the resonant wavelength shift as a function of biodetection events. One of the sources of noise in all resonant-wavelength shift measurements is the noise due to intensity fluctuations of the laser source. An alternative approach ...
متن کاملDerivation of new equations for phase-shift cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
Current phase-shift cavity ring-down spectroscopy (PS-CRDS) experiments make use of equations originally developed for fluorescence studies. As these equations fail to take the length of the optical cavity and the superposition of reflecting beams into account, they lose validity as the length of the cavity increases. A new set of equations, based solely on the principles of PS-CRDS, is develop...
متن کاملDirect monitoring of absorption in solution by cavity ring-down spectroscopy.
Cavity ring-down spectroscopy is applied to the liquid phase by placing the target solution directly into the optical cavity. We demonstrate that solutions in the cavity can be stirred and more importantly monitored in a flow. We report a minimum detectable absorption of 10(-6) cm(-1) for a range of organic solvents. This detection limit corresponds to picomolar concentrations for strong absorb...
متن کاملPhase-shift cavity ring-down spectroscopy on a microsphere resonator by Rayleigh backscattering
The optical ring-down time in a silica microsphere resonator is measured using phase-shift cavity ring-down spectroscopy. When detecting Rayleigh backscattered light that is coupled into the input waveguide it is found that the shift of the modulation phase angle, φ, is approximately linearly dependent on the amplitude modulation frequency. The microresonator therefore behaves as if it was a de...
متن کاملThe superposition principle and cavity ring-down spectroscopy
Cavity ring-down is becoming a widely used technique in gas phase spectroscopy. It holds promise for further important extensions, which will lead to even more frequent use. However, we have found widespread confusion in the literature about the nature of coherence effects, especially when the optical cavity constituting the ring-down cell is excited with a short coherence length laser source. ...
