Detection of CO in air by diode-pumped 4.6-microm difference-frequency generation in quasi-phase-matched LiNbO(3)
Optics Letters
|October 30, 2009
Abstract:
Detection of CO, N(2)O, and CO(2) in ambient air was performed with a room-temperature cw IR source based on difference-frequency generation in periodically poled LiNbO(3). The source was pumped by a seeded highpower GaAlAs amplif ier at 860 nm and a diode-pumped monolithic Nd:YAG ring laser at 1064 nm. The IR output was tunable between 2160 and 2320 cm(-1) without crystal rotation. The CO detection sensitivity is extrapolated to 5 ppb m/ radicalHz if limited by IR intensity noise.

01:19Gas Chromatography: Types of Detectors-II
In gas chromatography, different detectors are employed to meet specific analytical needs. These detectors are often categorized based on their detection mechanisms and the types of compounds they are best suited to analyze. Thermal Conductivity Detectors (TCD), Flame Ionization Detectors (FID), and Electron Capture Detectors (ECD) represent common categories, each with unique operating principles and applications. However, beyond these, several other detectors are designed for more specialized...
01:04¹³C NMR: ¹H–¹³C Decoupling
The probability of having two carbon-13 atoms next to each other is negligible because of the low natural abundance of carbon-13. Consequently, peak splitting due to carbon-carbon spin-spin coupling is not observed in spectra. However, protons up to three sigma bonds away split the carbon signal according to the n+1 rule, resulting in complicated spectra.

01:21Gas Chromatography: Types of Detectors-I
There are different types of detectors used in gas chromatography, each with its own specific properties that make it suitable for detecting certain types of analytes. The most commonly used detectors in GC are thermal conductivity detector (TCD), flame ionization detector (FID), and electron capture detector (ECD).
TCD is the earliest and most widely used detector that operates by measuring the changes in the thermal conductivity of the carrier gas. When a sample compound enters the detector,...
