Measurement of CO2 by Wavelength Modulated Reinjection Off-Axis Integrated Cavity Output Spectroscopy at 2 μm

Abstract

A high sensitivity wavelength modulated reinjection off-axis integrated cavity output spectroscopy (WM-RE-OA-ICOS) experimental setup was built at a 2 μm band. On the basis of an off-axis integrated output spectroscopy (OA-ICOS), combined with an optical reinjection (RE) approach to improve signal intensity, and wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) to improve the signal-to-noise ratio (SNR) of the system, the experimental study of trace CO2 with high sensitivity was carried out using the setup. The performance was compared and evaluated, and the results show that: Compared with the OA-ICOS, the wavelength modulated reinjection OA-ICOS enhanced the signal intensity by 6.3 times, and the SNR increased 7.2 times from 179 to 1288. The Allan variance results showed that the detection limit of the system is 0.35 ppm when the average system time is 230 s. The setup was used to measure the indoor CO2 concentration for a long time (22 h), and the measured results were in line with the actual concentration change. The proposed method shows good performance enhancement for the OA-ICOS system in trace gas measurements.

Highly sensitive spectral measurement of rubidium isotopes using open multi-pass cell in tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy

“…According to the Beer–Lambert law, atoms absorb a specific wavelength of probe light energy in the absorption path L and transition from the ground state to the excited state. 10 The spectral SNR can be significantly enhanced by extending the interaction distance between atoms and the probe light, leading to a lower detection limit. The utilization of an optical multi-pass cell (MPC) involves employing multiple reflections of the probe light to increase the absorption path length L while keeping the original optical path length unchanged.…”

Atomic absorption spectroscopy detection system based on wavelength modulation and wavelet denoising

“…[5] In recent years, tunable diode laser absorption spectroscopy (TDLAS) technology has attracted widespread attention due to its advantages such as high resolution, strong selectivity, and high sensitivity. [6][7][8] Miyabe et al integrated laser ablation with TDLAS to develop multiple actinide metal isotope abundance detection systems, achieving precision in measuring metal isotope abundance. [9,10] Lebedev et al designed a crucible with a microchannel array, which effectively reduced the Doppler broadening of the spectrum and improved the discrimination of isotope absorption spectra.…”
