Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Chemical sensing using mid-infrared laser absorption spectroscopy (MIR-LAS) in the molecular fingerprint region from 3 to 20 µm has been established as a powerful diagnostic tool. Detection limits of ppm down to ppt levels can be achieved by the application of cavity-enhanced absorption spectroscopy (CEAS) techniques using high finesse optical cavities combined with quantum and interband cascade lasers (QCLs and ICLs). For multiple-component trace gas detection the RES-Q-Trace system has been designed comprising of four ICLs/QCLs and CEAS measurement cells.
