| Abstract: | A technique of detection of ozone, using a CO2 laser with rapid automated tuning over 8–10 generation lines in the 9.4–9.6-µm spectral range, has been developed. Its experimental verification has shown a higher accuracy of detecting low concentrations of O3 in comparison with the traditional technique of differential absorption on two lines (on-line and off-line). Using the technique suggested, the content of ozone in the vicinity of city roads with heavy traffic has been measured.__________Translated from Zhurnal Prikladnoi Spektroskopii, Vol. 72, No. 2, pp. 251–255, March–April, 2005. |
