Absolute intensities and pressure-broadening coefficients of 2-µm CO2 absorption features: intracavity laser spectroscopy

Not Accessible

Your library or personal account may give you access

Abstract

The high detection sensitivity available from intracavity laser spectroscopy (ILS) is extended into the near infrared by solid-state laser systems operating with relatively narrow (∼0.002 µm) bandwidths for three CO2 absorption features of importance to an understanding of planetary atmospheres. The absolute intensities and pressure-broadening properties of the P(12), P(14), and P(16) lines of the Σ–Σ band (12°1–00°0) of CO2 (at 2.0129, 2.0136, and 2.0143 µm) are measured quantitatively by ILS with a Tm:YAG laser operating near 2.0 µm. The temperature dependencies of these absolute intensities and collisional-broadening parameters for these three CO2 features are also measured over the 110–300 K range. The 3.0-km equivalent absorption path length available from the ILS Tm:YAG system is used to enhance detection sensitivity by more than a factor of 1.5 × 104 while maintaining a physical sample cell path length of ∼20 cm. The enhanced detection sensitivity of ILS permits absolute intensities and collisional-broadening parameters to be measured from <1-Torr CO2 over a series of temperatures, conditions that emulate those found in the atmospheres of Mars, Triton, and Venus.
