Advances in High-Resolution Spectroscopic Measurements of Molecular Ions in the Mid-Infrared

چکیده
The technique of velocity modulation spectroscopy has recently been combined with cavity enhancement and frequency modulation methods into a technique called noise-immune cavity-enhanced optical heterodyne velocity modulation spectroscopy (NICE-OHVMS). We have implemented NICE-OHVMS with a cw-optical parametric oscillator (OPO) tunable from 3.2 to 3.9 lm, and used it to record spectra of the R(1,0) and R(1,1) transitions of the m2 fundamental band of H þ 3 . The high optical power and cavity enhancement enable saturation of rovibrational transitions, which allows for line center frequencies to be measured with a precision of 70 kHz. 2012 Elsevier B.V.

متن کاملMid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy with an optical parametric oscillator.
We present the first implementation of mid-infrared dual-comb spectroscopy with an optical parametric oscillator. Methane absorption spectroscopy was demonstrated with a resolution of 0.2 cm(-1) (5 GHz) at an acquisition time of ~10.4 ms over a spectral coverage at 2900-3050 cm(-1). The average power from each individual mid-infrared comb line was ~1 μW, representing a power level much greater ...
