Supercontinua for high-resolution absorption multiplex infrared spectroscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

Supercontinua generated in highly nonlinear fibers by ultrashort-pulse lasers can be used for high-resolution Fourier transform absorption spectroscopy. The practical advantages of these bright ultrabroadband light sources for spectroscopy in the near-infrared region are reported. A Cr4+:YAG femtosecond laser broadened by an extruded soft-glass photonic crystal fiber, emitting from 1200to2200nm and from 675to950nm, provides a spectral radiance 1×105 times higher than that of a 3000K blackbody and 102 times higher than that of synchrotron radiation. The C2H2 and NH3 overtone spectra are recorded by using this source within a few seconds.
