We present a new custom-built cell for high-resolution absorption spectroscopy of hazardous gases. The use of an aluminum light-pipe enables sensitive detection due to the small tube diameter and an increased particle density in the interaction volume for a limited analyte amount in the cell, while avoiding additional surfaces such as mirrors. To demonstrate this, we have used the cell to measure tritiated water isotopologues (HTO and traces of T 2 O) for which spectroscopic data is scarce, due to the challenge of performing spectroscopy of these highly radio-chemical aggressive substances. For this purpose, the new cell also features the efficient inline-production of tritiated water. In this paper we present the concept of the light-pipe cell and demonstrate its performance with a high-resolution absorption spectrum of gaseous HTO generated inside of this cell.
