High-Sensitivity High-Resolution Diode Laser Spectroscopy in the Near-Infrared Region.
(1996) In Lund Reports in Atomic Physics LRAP-189.- Abstract
- High-resolution spectroscopy measurements have been performed using near-infrared
diode lasers. Special emphasis was placed upon high accuracy absorption lineshape
measurements, which provide the basis for quantitative gas analysis. For this purpose,
relevant spectral characteristics of the radiation emitted by diode lasers were studied.
High-resolution measurements using newly developed long-wavelength GalnAsSb diode
lasers were demonstrated. The experimental technique utilised constant-current fast
wavelength scanning, which minimises effects of variations in the diode laser output
characteristics during a scan. The technique was combined with two-tone frequency

measurements, which provide the basis for quantitative gas analysis. For this purpose,
relevant spectral characteristics of the radiation emitted by diode lasers were studied.
High-resolution measurements using newly developed long-wavelength GalnAsSb diode
lasers were demonstrated. The experimental technique utilised constant-current fast
wavelength scanning, which minimises effects of variations in the diode laser output
characteristics during a scan. The technique was combined with two-tone frequency
modulation spectroscopy (TIFMS), which greatly improved measurement sensitivity. An
accurate theory of TIFMS lineshapes accounting for dispersion and nonlinear distortion
of the diode laser modulation-response was developed. The applicability of TIFMS for
accurate concentration and linewidth measurements was demonstrated. A least-squares
fitting procedure for retrieval of the spectral information from direct detection and
TIFMS lineshapes using the Voigt and collisionally narrowed profiles was developed.
Comparison of measurements using TIFMS and direct detection was performed, showing
the two to be in excellent agreement. The high accuracy achieved in spectral recordings,
and the rigorous treatment of TIFMS lineshapes, allowed quantitative measurements of
the collisional narrowing effect using weak absorptions. Pressure-induced broadening and
shift coefficients, and line strengths of molecular oxygen A-band transitions at 760 nm and
water vapor transitions at 1830 nm have been determined.
The experimental and retrieval techniques developed allow sensitive and accurate
measurements of gaseous species in a broad range of environments. (Less)
