Time-resolved wavelength modulation spectroscopy measurements of HO 2 kinetics
Abstract:
High-frequency wavelength modulation spectroscopy (WMS) has been applied to the detection of the hydroperoxyl radical (HO2 ) in a laser photolysis and long-path absorption pump-probe kinetics reactor with a near-infrared distributed feedback diode laser. The HO2 is formed by the 355-nm photolysis of Cl2 in the presence of CH3 OH and O2 and monitored by a phase-sensitive detection of the second-harmonic (2f ) signal in the 2?1 band with a 1.5- ?m diode laser directly modulated at 5 MHz. The measured 2f WMS signal is calibrated by direct absorption and converted to an absolute number density with the known absorption line strength of the HO2 line at 6625.80cm-1 . The utility of time-resolved WMS as a second-order kinetics probe is demonstrated through the measurement of the HO2 self-reaction rate constant at 295 K.
