Cavity enhanced FTIR spectroscopy using a femto OPO absorption source

Authors:

Abstract
The ν1 + ν3 band of 12C2H2 was recorded using a high resolution continuous scan Fourier transform interferometer fitted with a femto OPO absorption source. Various experimental schemes were successfully implemented, including multipass absorption in a cell and also in a supersonic expansion, and cavity enhanced absorption. An optimal rms noise equivalent absorption of 2.2 × 10−9 cm−1 Hz−1/2 per spectral element was reached in the latter case, corresponding to αmin = 1.5 × 10−7 cm−1. Performances are illustrated and discussed.
