| Abstract: | We propose an experimental method for detecting molecules in the UV–visible range using ultrashort laser pulses. Two types of sources are used: a continuum generated by 200 kHz Ti:sapphire regenerative amplifier system extending from 320 to 1100 nm, and a near-gaussian femtosecond pulse (100 fs) generated by an optical parametric amplifier. Both broadband sources allow the real-time detection of the oxygen, the nitrogen dioxide NO2 and the water vapor bands. Moreover, the concentration of NO2 can be determined within the 10 ppb sensitivity range by using a specific nonlinear fit technique. |
