We report what we believe to be a novel demonstration of simultaneous detection of multiple trace gases by near-IR tunable diode laser photoacoustic spectroscopy using a cell containing a cantilever microphone. Simultaneous detection of carbon monoxide (CO), ethyne (C2H2), methane (CH4) and combined carbon monoxide/carbon dioxide (CO+CO2) in nitrogen-based gas mixtures was achieved by modulation frequency division multiplexing the outputs of four near-IR tunable diode lasers. Normalized noise-equivalent absorption coefficients of 3.4×10?9, 3.6×10?9 and 1.4×10?9 cm?1?W?Hz?1/2 were obtained for the simultaneous detection of CO, C2H2 and CH4 at atmospheric pressure. These corresponded to noise-equivalent detection limits of 249.6 ppmv (CO), 1.5 ppmv (C2H2) and 293.7 ppmv (CH4) respectively over a measurement period of 2.6 s at the relevant laser power. The performance of the system was not influenced by the number of lasers deployed, the main source of noise arising from ambient acoustic effects. The results confirm that small-volume photoacoustic cells can be used with low optical power tunable diode lasers for rapid simultaneous detection of trace gases with high sensitivity and specificity.  相似文献

A universal absorption technique for studying the kinetics of relaxation of atomic states in the afterglow of a repetitively pulsed discharge in metal vapor lasers is proposed. It uses the measurement of the absorption of narrowband emission of a tunable dye laser and numerical simulation of absorption. The relaxation of metastable 6p 3 2 D 3 2/0 states of Bi atoms in the afterglow of a 472.2-nm bismuth vapor laser was studied. The prepulse values of the concentration of metastable atoms n m were not higher than 1011 cm?3 and did not impede the improvement of laser characteristics. The afterpulse values of n m were ~1013 cm? 3.  相似文献

We report here on the development of a high-temperature laser ion source useful for trace analysis and other applications. It consists of a high temperature ionization chamber, three tunable dye lasers pumped by copper vapor lasers for stepwise resonant ionization and a Mattauch-Herzog mass spectrometer for the analysis of photo-ions. The principle of the laser ion source and its theoretical efficiency are discussed, where the efficiency of a laser ion source is the ratio of photo-ions extracted out to the number of atoms introduced into the cavity. Experimentally, an efficiency of 2×10–3 has been achieved for technetium. The scheme of gated detection is described which is used for suppressing isobaric background of molybdenum. The possible improvements are briefly mentioned for achieving isotopic analysis of 108 atoms of 97,98Tc in the presence of 1015 atoms of molybdenum, as separated chemically from molybdenum ore. Such an analysis of technetium isotopes produced in molybdenite ore by a (v,e ) reaction, is expected to yield information about the solar neutrino flux.Permanent address: Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, Bombay 400085, India  相似文献

Stable, tunable, sub-picosecond pulses have been obtained by synchronously pumping a Rhodamine 6G dye laser with a frequency-doubled CW modelocked neodymium YAG laser. Careful attention has been paid to minimize amplitude and timing instabilities, resulting in dye laser pulses shorter than 500 fs. The main advantage of this new pumping source over current synchronously pumped dye lasers is that it is particularly well suited to short pulse amplification. Using this technique amplification of 2 × 106 has been achieved.  相似文献

Abstract

Ultraviolet light has been generated from a Rhodamine 60 organic dye laser by frequency doubling with a KDP crystal. The second harmonic was tuned from 2900Å to 3000Å with peak powers of 40 watts.

Organic dye lasers have now been reported with output wave-lengths extending throughout the visible and near infrared1-12. The tunability4,6,13 and output energies now available in the visible protion of the spectrum suggest frequency doubling as a means of obtaining a tunable source of ultraviolet light. We wish to report the observation of tunable second harmonic radiation centered at 2950Å generated from the laser output of a 10?4 molar solution of Rhodamine 6G dissolved in ethyl alcohol.  相似文献

Abstract

The need for higher sensitive detection technology for trace gas samples, either in the laboratory setup or in the atmospheric remote sensing has been a goal for several decades. The development of the tunable diode laser has propelled the progress of trace detection technology, and modulation technology enables the improvement of the detection sensitivity. As a result, the detection of 10?7 or 10?8 absorbance is possible for some applications, and modulation technology has been applied to the ultraviolet as well as mid-infra red wavelength range. In this review, recent progress of tunable diode lasers and diode laser-based modulation technologies are presented. Wavelength modulation, frequency modulation, and two-tone frequency modulation techniques are mainly described along with the actual application of the techniques. In addition, the state-of-the-art of diode laser development which can be adopted for the trace detection is presented.  相似文献

Laser photoionization has been used to detect trace amounts of plutonium. A high sensitivity and selectivity has been achieved by applying three-step excitation and ionization of the plutonium atoms with high pulse-repetition rates and additional mass determination by time-of-flight measurements. A laser system was developed which consists of a copper vapor laser pumping three dye lasers simultaneously. Samples containing between 1010 and 1012 atoms of239Pu on Re filaments were measured yielding strong resonance signals with maximum ion count rates of several kHz at a vanishingly low background. A detection efficiency of 10–7 was determined allowing the detection of about 108 plutonium atoms in a sample.This work comprises part of the doctoral dissertation of W.

Thirteen tunable anti-Stokes components have been observed for the first time starting with a dye laser. Energies in the long-wavelength VUV region (around 190 nm) reach values of 50 μJ (~10 kW) corresponding to a conversion factor η~0.5×10?3. The shortest wavelength observed is at 138 nm where up to 40 nJ (~8 W) are measured.  相似文献

The detection of long-lived plutonium isotopes in ultra-trace amounts by resonance ionization mass spectrometry (RIMS) is a well-established routine method. Detection limits of 106 to 107 atoms and precise measurements of the isotopic composition have been achieved. In this work multi-step resonance ionization of plutonium atoms has been performed with tunable lasers having very different output intensities and spectral properties. In order to compare different ways for the resonance ionization of plutonium broadband pulsed dye and titanium:sapphire lasers as well as narrow-band cw-diode and titanium:sapphire lasers have been applied for a number of efficient excitation schemes. It has been shown, that for identical excitation schemes the optical isotope selectivity can be improved by using cw-lasers (bandwidths < 10 MHz) instead of pulsed lasers (bandwidths > 2 GHz). Pulsed and cw-laser systems have been used simultaneously for resonance ionization enabling direct comparisons of pulsed and continuous ionization processes. So far, a three-step, three-color laser excitation scheme has been proven to be most practical in terms of efficiency, selectivity and laser wavelengths. Alternatively a newly discovered three-step, two-color excitation scheme which includes a strong two-photon transition from an excited state into a high-lying autoionizing state yields similar ionization efficiencies. This two-photon transition was characterized with respect to saturation behavior and line width.  相似文献

Tunable narrowband VUV radiation has been generated at the Lyman-α wavelength λ = 1216 &Aring; by frequency tripling in krypton the frequency-doubled output of a powerful dye laser system which is excited with the second harmonic of a Nd-YAG laser. 5 ns long UV dye laser pulses (λ = 3646A?) of 1.8 MW peak power yielded VUV light pulses of 2.2 W (5.4 × 199 photons/pulse). The bandwidth of the dye laser radiation could be narrowed to 8.7 × 10-3cm-1 (4.6 × 10-3 Å). The expected bandwidth of the VUV is less than 5.2 × 10-2cm-1 (7 × 10-4 Å). The tunable VUV radiation is used for the recording of the absorption spectra of the Lyman-α resonance transitions in atomic hydrogen and deuterium with doppler-limited resolution.  相似文献

A new complex laser analytical spectrometer operating synchronously in the atomic beam regime and in the flame regime is developed. Analytical potentialities of the spectrometer are demonstrated by the example of determining sodium and calcium content in standard solutions and aluminum alloys. Processes of thermal atomization of Ca and Na in vacuum and the effect of the basis of a sample on the element determined are studied. Efficient excitation via Rydberg states is realized for these elements. The contents of Ca and Na in aluminum alloys are determined at levels of 10?2 and 10?3%, respectively.  相似文献

We report on the first application of Optical Feedback-Cavity Enhanced Absorption Spectroscopy to formaldehyde trace gas analysis at mid-infrared wavelengths. A continuous-wave room-temperature, distributed-feedback quantum cascade laser emitting around 1,769 cm?1 has been successfully coupled to an optical cavity with finesse 10,000 in an OF-CEAS spectrometer operating on the ν2 fundamental absorption band of formaldehyde. This compact setup (easily transportable) is able to monitor H2CO at ambient concentrations within few seconds, presently limited by the sample exchange rate. The minimum detectable absorption is 1.6 × 10?9 cm?1 for a single laser scan (100 ms, 100 data points), with a detectable H2CO mixing ratio of 60 pptv at 10 Hz. The corresponding detection limit at 1 Hz is 5 × 10?10 cm?1, with a normalized figure of merit of 5 × 10?11cm $^{-1}/\sqrt{\rm Hz}$ (100 data points recorded in each spectrum taken at 10 Hz rate). A preliminary Allan variance analysis shows white noise averaging down to a minimum detection limit of 5 pptv at an optimal integration time of 10 s, which is significantly better than previous results based on multi-pass or cavity-enhanced tunable QCL absorption spectroscopy.  相似文献

Solid-state dye-doped polymers are an attractive alternative to conventional liquid dye solutions. In this paper, the spectral characteristics and nonlinear properties of the Aniline Blue dye has been studied. The third-order nonlinear optical properties of the Aniline Blue dye in ethanol and a dye-doped polymer film were measured by the Z-scan technique using a 632.8-nm He-Ne laser. This material exhibits a negative optical non-linearity. The dye at a 0.4-mM concentration exhibited a nonlinear refractive coefficient (n 2 = ?4.02 × 10?8 and ?4.41 × 10?8 cm2/W in liquid and solid media, respectively), a nonlinear absorption coefficient (β = ?9.7 × 10?4 and ?11.63 × 10?4 cm/W in liquid and solid media, respectively), and susceptibility (x (3) = 1.844 × 10?6 and 2.028 × 10?6 esu in liquid and solid media, respectively). These results show that the Aniline Blue dye has potential applications in nonlinear optics.  相似文献

A tunable continuous wave(cw) mid-infrared(MIR) laser based on difference-frequency generation(DFG) in a 1.5-cm long AgGaS2 nonlinear crystal for trace gas detection is reported.Two visible and near-infrared diode lasers were used as pump and signal sources.The MIR-DFG laser was tunable in a wavelength range of 4.75 μm-4.88 μm.The phase-matching(PM) condition was non-critically achieved by adjusting the temperature of the crystal for fixed pairs of input pump and signal wavelengths.The required PM temperatures of the generated MIR-DFG wavelengths have been calculated by using three sets of recent Sellmeier equations and the temperature-dispersion equations of AgGaS2 given by Willer U,et al.(Willer U,Blanke T and Schade W 2001 Appl.Opt.40 5439).Then the calculated PM temperatures are compared with the experimental values.The performance of the MIR-DFG laser is shown by the trace detection of the P(16) carbon monoxide(12C16O) absorption line in a laboratory-fabricated absorption cell.The enhanced sensitivity of about 0.6×10 4 was obtained through the long path absorption provided by consecutive reflections between coated cylindrical mirrors of a constructed cell.  相似文献

We demonstrate a frequency-stabilized, all-solid laser source at 589 nm with up to 800 mW output power. The laser relies on sum-frequency generation from two laser sources at 1064 nm and 1319 nm through a PPKTP crystal in a doubly resonant cavity. We obtain conversion efficiencies as high as 2 W/W2 after careful optimization of the cavity parameters. The output wavelength is tunable over 60 GHz, which is sufficient to lock on the sodium D2 line. The robustness, beam quality, spectral narrowness and tunability of our source make it an alternative to dye lasers for atomic physics experiments with sodium atoms.  相似文献

Abstract

A tunable pulsed Ti: Sapphire laser was used to determine low concentrations using intracavity absorption spectroscopy with temporal resolution. The dependence of the laser-pulse evolution time on the absorbance of a sample introduced in the cavity (solution of 3,3-diethylthiatricarbocyanine iodide in dimethylsulphoxide) was studied theoretically and experimentally. The minimal experimentally measured absorbance was 8×10?4. The possibility was shown of using a Ti:S laser to detect absorbance of 10?5 via a temporal technique.  相似文献
