High sensitivity gas spectroscopy of porous, highly scattering solids

Svensson, Tomas LU ; Andersson, Mats LU ; Rippe, Lars LU ; Johansson, Jonas ; Folestad, Staffan and Andersson-Engels, Stefan LU (2008) In Optics Letters 33(1). p.80-82
Abstract
We present minimalistic and cost-efficient instrumentation employing tunable diode laser gas spectroscopy for the characterization of porous and highly scattering solids. The sensitivity reaches 3 x 10(-6) (absorption fraction), and the improvement with respect to previous work in this field is a factor of 10. We also provide the first characterization of the interference phenomenon encountered in high-resolution spectroscopy of turbid samples. Revealing that severe optical interference originates from the samples, we discuss important implications for system design. In addition, we introduce tracking coils and sample rotation as new and efficient tools for interference suppression. The great value of the approach is illustrated in an... (More)
