Area of Science:

  • Analytical Chemistry
  • Spectroscopy
  • Physical Chemistry

Background:

  • Cavity ring-down spectroscopy (CRDS) is a sensitive technique for measuring absorption.
  • Traditional CRDS often requires stable sample environments.
  • Developing new sample delivery methods is crucial for expanding CRDS applications.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To introduce and validate a flowing liquid-sheet jet as a stable sample interface for CRDS.
  • To assess the performance of this technique for absorption measurements.
  • To explore its potential in analytical and spectroscopic studies.

Main Methods:

  • A mechanical gear pump delivered solvent through a circular orifice, creating a liquid jet.
  • The jet impacted a surface, forming a stable liquid sheet positioned at the Brewster angle.

  • A pulsed laser was used within a linear ring-down cavity for absorption measurements.

    • Main Results:

    • The path length of the ethylene glycol sheet-jet was measured at 23.2 ± 0.6 μm.
    • Malachite Green dye demonstrated a linear dynamic range of 12.6 dB (73.9 nM to 1.34 μM).
    • The limit of detection was determined to be 71 nM (αLOD = 0.0162 cm⁻¹).

    Conclusions:

    • The liquid-sheet jet is a stable and effective sample interface for CRDS.
    • This technique shows significant promise for high-sensitivity analytical and spectroscopic measurements.
    • Potential applications include studies of gas-liquid interfaces and other demanding analyses.
