摘要
An all-solid-state laser-based mid-infrared spectrometer has been developed for high-resolution spectroscopy and trace-gas detection. Continuous-wave, broadly tunable infrared radiation was generated from 8 mu m to 19 mu m by difference-frequency mixing of two Ti:sapphire lasers in a GaSe crystal. This difference-frequency generation source was used for the detection of acetylene in air near 13.7 mu m. The trace constituent of acetylene has been measured and quantitatively determined by using its Q branch of the v(5) band spectrum. Spectroscopic detection of 28 ppmm/Hz(1/2) was performed. This corresponds to a minimum detectable mixing ratio of similar to 1 ppb in conjunction with a 100-m White cell and balanced detection.
