Abstract
A compact absorption spectrometer with a midinfrared tunable quantum cascade laser operating at 4.86μm (2054 cm -1) is used to measure lower concentrations of carbonyl sulfide (COS) in air. A detection sensitivity of ~30 parts in 109 of COS and the selectivity of two stable isotopes, 12C16O32S and 12C 16O34S, are demonstrated. Specifically, the feasibility of detecting COS in expired human breath as a potential noninvasive medical diagnostic tool is investigated.
