چکیده
A precision laser spectrometer for the detection of CO(2) isotopes is reported. The spectrometer measures the fundamental absorption signatures of (13)C and (12)C isotopes in CO(2) at 4.32 microm using a tunable mid-IR laser source based on difference-frequency generation. The spectrometer attains a precision of up to 0.02 per thousand for 150 s of averaging. An overall accuracy of 0.05 per thousand was obtained when sampling various calibrated reference gases.

Tuning extension of a Difference-Frequency generation up to 100 nm using V-shaped external-cavity for the pump laser
In this research, tunability of a commercial diode laser has extended to about more than ± 11 nm using a V-shaped external-cavity fabricated around the laser. Although under normal condition it can be tuned up to about ± 4 nm just by changing its temperature and injection current. Such modified diode laser has then used in a difference-frequency generation (DFG) experimental setup as pump sourc...
متن کاملA high precision pulsed QCL spectrometer for measurements of stable isotopes of carbon dioxide
We describe a prototype instrument using a Peltier cooled quantum cascade laser for precise measurement of stable carbon (C/C) isotopologue ratios in atmospheric CO2. Using novel optics and signal processing techniques in a compact instrument, we are able to detect the difference between sample and reference with a precision of 0.1‰ (2σ std error of mean of 11 samples) in 10 minutes of analysis...

Two continuous-wave (cw) single mode diode-lasers (Toshiba TOLD 9150 and Sharp LT024MDO) are applied as pump and signal sources to obtain difference-frequency generation (DFG) in the mid-infrared (MIR) region by using an AgGaS2 crystal with a length of 30 mm for 90° type I phase-matching. Tuneable MIR laser radiation around 5 µm is obtained with an output power in the order of hundred nW while...
متن کاملDifferential laser absorption spectrometry for global profiling of tropospheric carbon dioxide: selection of optimum sounding frequencies for high-precision measurements.
We discuss the spectroscopic requirements for a laser absorption spectrometer (LAS) approach to high-precision carbon dioxide (CO2) measurements in the troposphere. Global-scale, high-precision CO2 measurements are highly desirable in an effort to improve understanding and quantification of the CO2 sources and sinks and their impact on global climate. We present differential absorption sounding...
