Photoacoustic spectroscopy, in combination with a pulsed grazing-incidence optical parametric oscillator (GIOPO), was used
for sensitive detection of nitrous oxide (N2O) in ambient air. The ν1+ν3 combination band of N2O was excited with the idler beam of the GIOPO in the 2.76 μm–2.91 μm spectral region, where CO2 and water-absorption lines are also present. Three chemical filters filled with KOH, CaCl2, and P2O5 were used to reduce the CO2 and water concentrations to the level of several parts per billion (109) by volume (ppbv). Photoacoustic spectra containing several absorption lines were recorded and the concentration was determined
by an integral evaluation method and a fast Fourier transform evaluation method. The photoacoustic signal was calibrated by
a standard mixture of 50.6 parts per million by volume (ppmv) of N2O in synthetic air. Values of 311±5 ppbv, 314±5 ppbv, and 316±5 ppbv were found for three ambient samples collected at nearby
roads.

Sensitive absorption measurements in the near-infrared region using off-axis integrated-cavity-output spectroscopy 总被引:3,自引:0,他引:3
A novel instrument that employs a high-finesse optical cavity as an absorption cell has been developed for sensitive measurements
of gas mixing ratios using near-infrared diode lasers and absorption-spectroscopy techniques. The instrument employs an off-axis
trajectory of the laser beam through the cell to yield an effective optical path length of several kilometers without significant
unwanted effects due to cavity resonances. As a result, a minimum detectable absorption of approximately 1.4×10-5 over an effective optical path of 4.2 km was obtained in a 1.1-Hz detection bandwidth to yield a detection sensitivity of
approximately 3.1×10-11 cm-1 Hz-1/2. The instrument has been used for sensitive measurements of CO, CH4, C2H2 and NH3.

Cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy is explained in terms of the transmission function of a rapidly swept interferometer,
and the integrated transmission is shown to be proportional to the cavity ringdown time. The technique is demonstrated on
the b1Σg
+-X3Σg
- (1,0) band in molecular oxygen at 687 nm using a tunable diode laser and a relative-ly high-Q optical cavity (finesse ≈4000).
A detection limit of 3×10-8 cm-1 s1/2 is achieved for a 0.8 cm-1 scanning range.

Results are given for thermal tuning and modulation of a 1556-nm distributed feedback fibre laser by resistive heating of
a thin silver film chemically deposited on the fibre. Without reaching the limits of performance, linear tuning is demonstrated
at a rate of 1.72 pm/mW up to about 200 pm, and a peak-to-peak modulation of 100 MHz up to modulation frequencies of 60 Hz.
The heat flow is analyzed, and the coated fibre is characterized in terms of the static and dynamic wavelength response to
the applied electric power. The performance of the scheme is tested by recording part of the ν1+ν3 combination band spectrum of 13C2H2 with thermal modulation and scanning of the fibre laser.

We describe a near-infrared in situ tunable diode laser spectrometer developed for atmospheric measurements of CH4 in the upper troposphere and lower stratosphere (UT/LS). The instrument is designed to provide fast-response (0.5–1 Hz) measurements
and operate autonomously on the NASA WB-57F high-altitude aircraft. A single-mode InGaAsP distributed feedback laser diode
operating at 1.6537 μm scans continuously over the R(3) rotation–vibration transition in the 2ν3 band. We use a direct absorption technique incorporating a custom-designed long path length (252 m) low-volume (3.6 L) astigmatic
Herriott cell. The present detection sensitivity is 5×1010 molecules cm-3, corresponding to ∼20 ppbv in the UT/LS, with the main limit to instrument precision being background optical interference
fringes. In-flight performance is demonstrated by presentation of recent data.

Spectroscopic sensing of gases can be performed with high sensitivity and photometric precision by cavity ringdown (CRD) absorption
spectroscopy. Our cavity ringdown spectrometer incorporates continuous-wave (cw) tunable diode lasers, fibre-optic coupling
and standard photonics and optical telecommunications components. It comprises a rapidly swept optical cavity in a single-ended
optical heterodyne transmitter–receiver configuration, enabling optical absorption of gases to be recorded either as single-frequency
scanned spectra or as simultaneous, multi-wavelength tailored spectra. By measuring weak near-infrared rovibrational spectra
of carbon dioxide gas (CO2), with high resolution in the vicinity of 1.53 μm, we have realised a noise-limited absorption sensitivity of 2.5×10-9 cm-1 Hz-1/2. Analytical sensitivity limits (both actual and projected) and prospective gas-diagnostic applications are discussed. Our
approach to cw-CRD spectroscopy offers high performance in a relatively simple, low-cost, compact instrument that is amenable
to chemical analysis of trace gases in medical, agricultural, industrial and environmental situations.

The analysis of compact CW diode-side-pumped grazing-incidence-geometry Nd:YVO4 laser designs is presented. An output power of 5 W (λ=1064 nm) was produced at 17 W of diode pump (conversion efficiency
of 30%) in single transverse TEM00 mode operation at high laser beam quality (Mx
2≈1.05 and My
2≈1.01). The resonator geometry was analyzed by applying generalized 4×4 matrix modeling of the spatial mode size, including
the impact on the laser operation of cavity astigmatism and a thermal lens in the laser slab. The simplicity and compactness
of the laser cavities allow their use for technological applications.

We report the reversible micro-structuring of a synthetic rubber polymer (cis1,4-polybutadiene (PB)) by femtosecond laser
illumination. Visco-elastic relaxation of the optically damaged region was observed. The recovery time, typically 102–104 ms, can be varied by changing the irradiation pulse energy. Multi-shot-induced damage recovers on the much longer scale of
101–102 s. It was found that the doping of PB by 4 wt. % of pentazadiene ([4-NO2]–phenyl–N=N–N(C3H7)–N=N–phenyl–[4-NO2]) reduces the threshold of light-induced photo-modification by 20%. This is explained by photo-induced (homolytic) cleavage
of the pentazadiene bonds and formation of gaseous N2, which facilitates material failure at the irradiated spot.
The recovery of optical transmission can be applied to optical memory, optical and micro-mechanical applications. The underlying
mechanism of the phenomenon is discussed in terms of anelastic α- and β-relaxation (polymer backbone and chains/coils relaxation,
respectively).

The time-resolved dynamics of plasma self-channeling and refractive index bulk modification in silica glasses were first observed
in situ using a high-intensity femtosecond (110 fs) Ti:sapphire laser (λp=790 nm). Plasma channeling is induced in silica glass at an irradiation higher than an input intensity of 1.5×1012 W/cm2 and photoinduces either the refractive-index modification or optical crack modification. In the domain of refractive-index
modification, the lifetime of induced plasma self-channeling was 20 ps and the structural transition time for forming the
refractive-index change was 10 ps. In the domain of optical cracks, however, the lifetime of induced plasma formation was
30 ps and the structural transition time for forming the optical cracks was 40 ps. According to electron spin resonance spectroscopic
(ESP) measurement, it was found that the defect concentration of the SiE′ center increased significantly in the refractive index modification region. A maximum value of the refractive-index change
Δn was measured to be 1.6×10-2. The intensity profile of the output beam transmitted through the refractive-index modification showed that the bulk modification
produced a permanent optical waveguide.

The progress in the development of a sensor for the detection of trace air constituents to monitor spacecraft air quality
is reported. A continuous-wave (cw), external-cavity tunable diode laser centered at 1.55 μm is used to pump an optical cavity
absorption cell in cw-cavity ringdown spectroscopy (cw-CRDS). Preliminary results are presented that demonstrate the sensitivity,
selectivity and reproducibility of this method. Detection limits of 2.0 ppm for CO, 2.5 ppm for CO2, 1.8 ppm for H2O, 19.4 ppb for NH3, 7.9 ppb for HCN and 4.0 ppb for C2H2 are calculated.

We report a portable, all-solid-state, mid-infrared spectrometer for trace-gas analysis. The light source is a continuous-wave
optical parametric oscillator based on PPLN and pumped by a Nd:YAG laser at 1064 nm. The generated single-frequency idler
output covers the wavelength region between 2.35 and 3.75 μm. With its narrow line width, this light source is suitable for
precise trace-gas analysis with very high sensitivity. Using cavity leak-out spectroscopy we achieved a minimum detectable
absorption coefficient of 1.2×10-9 /cm (integration time: 16 s), corresponding, for example, to a detection limit of 300 parts per trillion ethane. This sensitivity
and the compact design make this trace-gas analyzer a promising tool for various in situ environmental and medical applications.

We describe a 7.4-μm source based on difference frequency generation with 6.5 mW of 1278-nm radiation from an extended cavity
laser and 66 mW of 1544-nm radiation from another extended cavity laser, amplified in an erbium-doped fibre amplifier. Optimum
focusing of the input beams in the 5×5×10-mm3 AgGaSe2 crystal, and the spatial and temporal characteristics of the output beam, are determined. The source is used for accurate
determination of line parameters for selected lines of the ν3 band of SO2, centred at 1361 cm-1. Subsequently, these lines are used for performing quantitative analysis of gas mixtures containing SO2 at concentration levels down to 4 ppm without relying on any calibration with certified gas mixtures. This demonstrates the
potential of infrared spectroscopy as a primary method for low-concentration gas analysis.

A new laser medium – Yb,Tm:KY(WO4)2 – for diode pumped solid state laser applications operating around 1.9 to 2.0 μm has been investigated and the main laser
characteristics are presented. Diode pumping at 981 nm and around 805 nm was realised. For 981-nm pumping, the excitation
occurs into Yb3+ ions followed by an energy transfer to Tm3+ions. A slope efficiency of 19% was realised. For pumping around 805 nm, the excitation occurs directly into the Tm3+ ions. Here a maximum slope efficiency of 52%, an optical efficiency of 40%, and output powers of more than 1 W were realised.
Using a birefringent quartz plate as an intracavity tuning element, the tunability of the Yb,Tm:KY(WO4)2 laser in the spectral range of 1.85–2.0 μm has been demonstrated. The possibility of laser operation in a microchip cavity
configuration for this material has also been shown.

Cavity ring-down spectroscopy is a relatively new and quite sensitive technique for the measurement of gas-phase optical extinction.
It holds the potential for simple, direct and sensitive measurement of the concentrations of a variety of trace gases in the
atmosphere. For example, detection of the nitrate radical, NO3, and its companion, dinitrogen pentoxide, N2O5, has been demonstrated with a sensitivity of 0.25 pptv (1σ). This paper considers several of the requirements for the application
of cavity ring-down spectroscopy to concentration measurements of trace gases in ambient air. These include detection sensitivity,
measurement of an accurate zero in the presence of competing absorbers, cavity stability and mirror cleanliness, laser line-width
effects, saturation effects, Rayleigh scattering, the influence of atmospheric aerosols and sampling issues for reactive species.
Examples drawn from our work on NO3 and N2O5 detection in the field illustrate these considerations.

We present an application of continuous-wave (cw) cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) with off-axis alignment geometry
of the cavity and with time integration of the cavity output intensity for detection of narrow-band and broadband absorbers
using single-mode red diode lasers at λ=687.1 nm and λ=662 nm, respectively. Off-axis cw CEAS was applied to kinetic studies
of the nitrate radical using a broadband absorption line at λ=662 nm. A rate constant for the reaction between the nitrate
radical and E-but-2-eneof (3.78±0.17)×10-13 cm3 molecule-1 s-1 was measured using a discharge-flow system. A nitrate-radical noise-equivalent (1σ≡ root-mean-square variation of the signal)
detection sensitivity of 5.5×109 molecule cm-3 was achieved in a flow tube with a diameter of 4 cm and for a mirror reflectivity of ∼99.9% and a lock-in amplifier time
constant of 3 s. In this case, a noise-equivalent fractional absorption per one optical pass of 1.6×10-6 was demonstrated at a detection bandwidth of 1 Hz. A wavelength-modulation technique (modulation frequency of 10 kHz) in
conjunction with off-axis cw CEAS has also been used for recording 1f- and 2f-harmonic spectra of the RR(15) absorption of the b1Σg
+-X3Σg
- (1,0) band of molecular oxygen at =14553.947 cm-1. Noise-equivalent fractional absorptions per one optical pass of 1.35×10-5, 6.9×10-7 and 1.9×10-6 were obtained for direct detection of the time-integrated cavity output intensity, 1f- and 2f-harmonic detection, respectively,
with a mirror reflectivity of ∼99.8%, a cavity length of 0.22 m and a detection bandwidth of 1 Hz.

The use of mid-infrared polarization spectroscopy (PS) for the detection of CO2 has been demonstrated. The P(13) and P(14) resonances of the (0 00 0)→(1 00 1) transition of CO2 were probed using a single-mode optical parametric generator system to produce a high-intensity laser beam at approximately
2.7 μm. The experiments were performed in an atmospheric pressure CO2 jet and also in a sub-atmospheric pressure gas cell. The experimental results were compared with the results of the time-dependent
density-matrix equations using direct numerical integration. The Zeeman-state structure of the upper and lower energy levels
was included in the multi-state formulation of the density-matrix equations. Fifty-eight Zeeman states and two bath levels
were included in the numerical analysis of the P(14) transition. The measured and calculated PS line shapes were in good agreement,
and the absolute experimental signal level agreed with the theoretical calculation to within a factor of five.

Nitrogen and boron BF2, and nitrogen, carbon, and boron BF2 high-dose (6×1016–3×1017 cm-2) co-implantation were performed at energies of about 21–77 keV. Subsequent high-temperature annealing processes (600, 850,
and 1200 °C) lead to the formation of three and two surface layers respectively. The outer layer mainly consists of polycrystalline
silicon and some amorphous material and Si3N4 inclusions. The inner layer is highly defective crystalline silicon, with some inclusions of Si3N4 too. In the N+B-implanted sample the intermediate layer is amorphous. Co-implantation of boron with nitrogen and with nitrogen
and carbon prevents the excessive diffusivity of B and leads to a lattice-parameter reduction of 0.7–1.0%.

We demonstrate coherent coupling of the quadrupole S1/2D5/2 optical transition of a single trapped 40Ca+ ion to the standing wave field of a high-finesse cavity. The dependence of the coupling on temporal dynamics and spatial
variations of the intracavity field is investigated in detail. By precisely controlling the position of the ion in the cavity
standing wave field and by selectively exciting vibrational state-changing transitions the ion’s quantized vibration in the
trap is deterministically coupled to the cavity mode. We confirm coherent interaction of ion and cavity field by exciting
Rabi oscillations with short resonant laser pulses injected into the cavity, which is frequency-stabilized to the atomic transition.
