Intracavity Absorption Spectroscopy of Atmospheric Water Vapor Using a Multimode Traveling-Wave Ring Dye Laser

“…This variation shows that the limitation of generation results from the four-wave mixing. 2) Therefore, the elimination of the resonator dispersion 8) is necessary to further improve the sensitivity. We are now attempting to improve the saturation time by using a pair of negative dispersion mirrors.…”

“…Previously, Kachanov and Plakhotnik obtained a generation time of a few milliseconds using a unidirectional ring laser, 7) and Vinogradov et al improved the generation time of spectra emission to 80 ms by cancelling of the resonator dispersion, which causes nonlinear interactions, using an array of four prisms. 8) However, to our knowledge, there have been a few report discussing applications to the measurement of air pollution. Most of the above-mentioned experiments were performed using an internal absorption cell with a sample gas in a laser resonator.…”

Intracavity Absorption Spectroscopy Using a Multimode Unidirectional Traveling-Wave Ring Dye Laser with a High Sensitivity of 5 ×10-11 cm-1

“…2) The positive dispersion of the active resonator elements yields such unequal mode spacings. 10) One effective way to remove the limitation due to the fourwave mixing is to introduce a negative dispersion in the resonator. Generally, it is done by a set of four Brewster prisms.…”
