Abstract:
The spectrum of carbon monoxide was obtained around 1. 573 microm using a tunable distributed feedback semiconductor laser with a high-finesse cavity at room temperature via off-axis cavity enhanced absorption (CEA) spectroscopic technique. The absorption line of carbon monoxide at 6 357. 311 6 cm(-1) was chosen for trace detection. Meanwhile, in order to get more accurate measurements, absorption path length of the cavity calibration methods was studied, and a simple and practical calibration method was given. The results show that, the equivalent absorption path length of high-precision optical resonator was -1 195.73 m. At last, we got the concentration of carbon monoxide in the real atmosphere to be -388.346 ppm (S/N = 22), and the detection limit of carbon monoxide was 17.65 ppm. By combination of wavelength modulation technology and OA-CEAS technology, a minimum detectable concentration of 0.36 ppm (S/N = 1 064) was achieved eventually.

However, the stretching absorptions for the C=O bond vary depending on the structure of carboxylic acids. The C=O bond of the free carboxylic acids shows a higher stretching frequency, 1760 cm−1, while H-bonded carboxylic acids (dimers) exhibit stretching absorptions at a lower frequency, 1710 cm−1. The C=O bond of the...
